Caperucita Mozart

An operatic adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood in which well-known melodies by W. A. Mozart are performed live with piano, under the stage direction of Andrés Alemán.

Caperucita Mozart transforms the Brothers Grimm tale into a fairy-tale opera. The heroine, who at last is allowed to cross the forest alone to take a basket to her grandmother, meets a clumsy, greedy wolf, not very skilled at hunting and always ready to eat something. The story is accompanied by the most recognisable melodies from W. A. Mozart's operas.

On stage, the operatic performances are accompanied on the piano. The cast comprises Andrea Carpintero, Pedro Lluch and Paula Girona, and the piano part is taken by María Argüeso. The production is by Andrés Alemán, who offers a witty, dynamic staging with plenty of humour.

It is presented as an introduction to opera and classical music for the whole family, with a proposal designed especially for the youngest children. The show takes place at Sala Teatro, in the heart of central Madrid, a space for concerts and shows.
