Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, this musical production blends narrative depth with vibrant, spectacle-driven staging. The score and libretto are the work of Sérgio Azevedo, one of Portugal’s most prominent contemporary composers.

The production explores profound themes—freedom, mortality, the contrast between natural beauty and artifice, and the bond between humanity and the animal world—through a lens that is accessible, humorous, and lyrical. Recommended for audiences aged six and older, this performance offers an engaging experience for the entire family.
