Opus Orchestra - Mahy Magic

"Zing! goes the cymbal. Bang! goes the drum…”

Come and explore the magic world of Margaret Mahy with Opus Orchestra!

A treat for children of all ages, and their big people, this short concert features favourite poems and stories by iconic New Zealand author, Margaret Mahy, set to music by composer Philip Norman.

Flingamingo Tango, The Tin Can Band, The Lion in the Meadow, The Man from the Land of Fandango and Wonderful Me are just a few of the wonderful Mahy works Norman has delightfully brought to life through original compositions.

Young people and lovers of Mahy’s incomparable imagination will be engaged and entertained through narrative and interactive performances by Georgia Jamieson Emms and Robert Tucker.
