SUMMARY:Ellis and the Night Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Ellis and the Night Orchestra is a new chamber opera for 0-5 year olds by writer-director Julie Ritchey and composer/performer Tim Munro\, featuring musicians of Southern Cross Soloists. \nEllis is too scared to sleep. Each time he lays down to close his eyes\, he hears strange sounds. \nIs it a monster….or an airplane flying overhead? A creaky floor\, or a ghost? They seem to be in the room with him. As the night goes on\, Ellis befriends the sounds\, becoming the conductor of his very own Night Orchestra and transforming his fears into beautiful music. \nThis playful and heartfelt journey will resonate with anyone who has struggled with bedtime. \nFIND OUT MORE
