Once upon a time there was a dog…

The musical “Once upon a time there was a dog…” is a large-scale production based on the folk tale “Sirko”, which has become one of the most high-profile events in the repertoire of the Kyiv Opera for children and youth. The story begins with familiar melodies that instantly transport the viewer to a colorful Ukrainian village. The main character, the faithful dog Brovko, becomes useless to his owners in old age and finds himself on the street. However, fate prepares him an unexpected meeting with an old enemy - the Wolf, which will change the lives of both and prove: true friendship and gratitude have no limits.

A driving musical for the whole family: folklore in the rhythm of modernity
