Funky family opera in adaptation of thrilling children's book (8+)
Lennox wanted to become brave soon. Preferably as quickly as possible, because he was ready for it. Fortunately, Lennox looked pretty cool for a boy who wasn’t yet brave.” RIGHTABOUTNOW INC. and Dutch National Opera have turned the exciting children’s book Lennox en de gouden sikkel (Lennox and the golden sickle) into a hip opera. A musical story about courage, friendship and the discovery that your world gets bigger when you know more.
