Children's Theater: Pinocchio

The good fairy Antonella appears and gives Pinocchio the chance to become a real boy – but first, he has to learn how to live. And that’s not so easy! Dangers and temptations lurk everywhere, trying to lead Pinocchio astray. Like the Cat and the Fox, who pretend to be his best friends, but have little good in mind. On his journey to become a real boy, Pinocchio experiences all sorts of adventures, such as a visit to the theater, planting a golden tree, or even a trip inside a whale. And every time he lies, his nose grows longer. Will he manage to become a real boy in the end?

Based on Carlo Collodi’s story that is over 150 years old and has enchanted many generations of children and adults, Christian Berg and Konstantin Wecker have created a musical adaptation that captivates with music and atmospherically blends fairy-tale magic, opera, the circus ring, and the Italian lifestyle “alla dolce vita.” Great fun for the whole family!

A family musical by Christian Berg with music by Konstantin Wecker for children aged 5 and up (performed by the ensemble of the Theater für Niedersachsen – TfN).
