Could love be described as being like “a tiger emerging”? Of course! This was one of the replies the Göteborg Opera got when we asked children about love at three different pre-schools in Gothenburg. Other responses were that your heart becomes dark blue, or that you can love pancakes and hamburgers at the same time.

The Göteborg Opera Children’s Choir will perform in May with new songs inspired by pre-school children’s thoughts about love. Besides the newly writen music, the choir will also sing other love songs – feel free to sing along! If you’re lucky, maybe a tiger will emerge. Come along to a fun (and completely safe) concert!

Om en tiger kommer fram will be performed in Swedish.
