The Tale of the Cello tells the heart-warming, poetic story of a lonely princess, the wisdom of nature, and music as a universal language that everyone understands. With humour and live cello music, the play delicately explores the importance of communication, empathy and a child’s view of the world, inviting audiences of all ages to pause and really listen to one another.

In a world where adults erect walls for fear of the unfamiliar, a child and a little wood elf remind us that hearts are best joined through play, laughter and music. In this fairy tale, the creation of the cello is symbolic for the power of art to overcome barriers, bring people together and foster peace. Live cello music lends the performance a special magic, further enriching this tender, emotional tale.
