The Clever Maiden: A Fairytale Opera by Carl Orff

A rarely-told Brothers Grimm fairytale hits the stage in North Hollywood for one weekend only, brought to you by LA's Independent Opera Company! A poor peasant’s honest mistake lands him in the dungeon—just as his clever daughter predicted. When her sharp wit saves her life in a battle of riddles, she rises from poverty to the throne. But when the new queen outsmarts the king himself, banishment follows… with one last trick up her sleeve. Carl Orff’s THE CLEVER MAIDEN (originally "Die Kluge") is a witty tale brought to life with driving rhythms, earthy humor, and theatrical sparkle—where cleverness wins the crown, and love has the final laugh.
