KONTRAST - The Soldier's Tale

Stravinsky's musical fairy tale for everyone Students perform Igor Stravinsky's musical fairy tale "The Soldier's Tale". The work, originally in French and written in 1918, is presented in Danish by a narrator, so that everyone can follow, including the younger children.

He soon discovers, however, that life without music is both empty and lonely, and so puts all his efforts into getting his violin back. It is thus a classic fairy tale about a struggle between good and evil, with the princess and half the kingdom at stake! ...
