About

BORKA: The Adventures of a Goose with no Feathers

Borka, the goose, is different from her brothers and sisters, she has no feathers! When her family fly south for the winter, Borka, begins her own journey of discovery, making new friends, understanding it’s ok to be different, and ultimately finding her forever home.


Celebrating 60 years since the publication of John Burningham’s touching tale, this magical 45 minute children’s opera has been created by librettist Tim Yealland and composer Russell Hepplewhite.

Weaving live music, drama, singing, puppetry, and animation, four classically trained singers are accompanied by viola, bassoon and percussion.
Aimed at 5-7 years but suitable for all the family.

Running time: 45 minutes

1pm and 6.30pm 

£7.50
