40 Years of Music: W. A. Mozart Symphony No. 40

American author of children’s books, Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are was filmed in 2009. However, as early as 1979, Oliver Knussen composed an opera with a libretto written by Maurice Sendak himself. A few years later, another collaboration with Sendak followed, and Knussen’s two children’s operas have become part of his most famous works. In celebration of Berwaldhallen’s 40th anniversary, the 40-year-old conductor Ryan Wigglesworth performs Mozart’s Symphony No. 40.

    Who will save Alfie Atkins?

    Alfie sits alone in the apartment where he lives and feels lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know any of the other children there. Sometimes his imaginary friend Malcolm appears, and when they play together, Alfons always gets to decide — like being the train driver when they play trains. The problem is that Mållgan never shows up when he is really needed, like when the “big boys” chase Alfons and spray his jacket with water pistols. A performance about friendship, based on Alfie Atkins, the beloved children’s book character created by Gunilla Bergström.
