A Beaked Case in the Kingdom of the Spheres
AMA's End of Year Show
TICKETS SOON
With music by Carlos Filipe Cruz and libretto by Ana Sabino Moura, A Beaked Case in the Kingdom of the Spheres is a work of original creation made for ensemble music that will have its world premiere at the current edition of Cistermúsica and will also be complemented by dance and video. Produced by the Alcobaça Academy of Music (AMA), this work has attractive melodic characteristics and challenging harmonic solutions, and the musical performance is the responsibility of students and teachers from AMA's basic and secondary music courses. Prepared and rehearsed throughout the 2023/2024 school year, this show will also feature choreography by Rita Abreu, performed by students from the school's dance courses. At a time of great social and cultural challenges, this is a story that aims to work with children and the public on the complex issues of diversity and inclusion in an apparently abstract way, but which is very clear, easy to understand and allegorical.
