Thumbelina

A musical in 2 parts

A musical fairy tale for the whole family about the adventures of Thumbelina, the child of a flower.

In a beautiful tulip blossom, a mother finds a tiny little girl and names her Thumbelina. The two live happily until one day Thumbelina is reached by the swallow's song about distant lands, and in her heart awakens a desire to set out into the world, where there is so much unknown. Along the way, Thumbelina meets various inhabitants of the world and overcomes more than one trial. And only far away from home does she gradually understand what is truly important to her.

This is a heartfelt story about growing up, faith in goodness, and the love between mother and child. The production is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale.

There are wings for all who believe,

There are wings for all who love...
