chamber orchestra
Product Details
Description
Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote is based on Duncan Tonatiuh’s eponymous allegorical picture book about the hardships and struggles of immigration. ‘Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote is my first work explicitly for children. I was interested in creating a children’s opera with animal characters as an allegory with political implications. In the tradition of works like George Orwell’s Animal Farm and Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, the opera will address the serious issue of the border and the recent political exploitation of those issues.’ (Anthony Davis)
