The American Premiere of
The Bremen Town Musicians

Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts will partner with Anton Krylov to present  the American Premiere of The Bremen Town Musicians, a Russian musical direct from Moscow.  Adapted from the enormously popular Soviet cartoon based on the fairy-tale by the Brothers Grimm, this family-friendly musical will be preformed in Russian with no English language translation. 

The story follows the adventures of The Troubadour, a handsome wandering minstrel who is accompanied by his friends Donkey, Dog, Cat and Rooster.  When the King's lovely daughter falls in love with The Troubadour and runs off with the troupe, mayhem ensues.  But as in any fairy-tale, true love wins out and everyone lives happily ever after.

The story was adapted by Vasily Livanov as a full-length animated television movie.  Russian audiences will immediately recognize the famous ballad "There is Nothing Better in this World."
