Ana und das fliegende Orchester

A music theater piece by Tobias Elsäßer with music from Latin America and Europe

Anna van Aken Narrator
Conductor Mikhail Agrest

"A violin without a bow is like a ship without a captain or an orchestra without a conductor ..."

Ana sails and flies on a magic ship to Brazil to visit her grandmother. The magical propulsion of the ship is music. On the way across the sea, the intrepid girl discovers that she needs the sound of an entire orchestra and plenty of rhythm to sail safely into the port of Rio de Janeiro.
Just as important for Ana, however, is the realization that a person can be at home in several places in the world if they carry them in their heart.
