The Trumpet of the Swan

Louis is a young swan born without a voice. With the help of a boy named Sam and a stolen trumpet, he sets out to prove that even the quietest among us can make the loudest impact.

A novel symphony for actors and orchestra, The Trumpet of the Swan brings E.B. White’s classic novel to the stage with lively narration performed by actors and a cinematic, lyrical score played live by Orchestra Victoria.

This charming testament to the power of music wowed critics at its premiere. It’s perfect for people of all ages who love music and stories.
