A symphonic fairy tale by Herman van Veen
School performance
Anne the Cat

Anne the Cat begins her life on a ship, but soon everything changes. The ship breaks in two, and the little cat loses everything she knows. That little life starts out so exciting, it can only get longer and happier after that. With her courage and perseverance, the little cat begins a journey full of surprises, encounters and dreams.
Come hear the extraordinary story of Anne the Cat! With puppetry, funny and touching stories, and music that takes you through the whole adventure, this fairy tale is an experience for children ages four and up. The beautiful songs and exciting story make it impossible not to sympathize with the little cat. Discover a fairy tale full of adventures, exciting moments and sweet songs, performed by an ensemble of the Residentie Orkest.
