a non-verbal, participatory music theater production for the whole family (ages 4 and up)
As a Christmas surprise for their parents, the forestchildren Vesta and Diana want to decorate a pine tree, but accidentally they turn King Winter's land upside down. Then, for his part, King Winter has to enlist the help of his fellow seasons Prince Primavera, Summerking Estate and Count Autumn Autunno to achieve another white Christmas in time. However, as benefits a good Christmas story: All's well that ends well!
Oh Tree of Wonder is a magical Christmas story with the forestchildren Vesta and Diana in the Gnome Forest! Four musicians slip into the roles of the four seasons and team up with the audience to sing classic Austrian, Portuguese and American Christmas songs as well as works by Claude Debussy, Engelbert Humperdinck and Astor Piazzolla. This participative concert is all about the non-verbal power of music. Together, performers and audience discover the techniques and functions of the orchestral instruments, hold conversations without words and enter musical competitions.

I am a "diehard opera and classical music fan" - and have seen many, many delightful productions for children by the Niederösterreichische Tonkünstler. But today I was really impressed by the musicality, the pedagogical concept, the implementation of a Christmas theme, etc... Hats off! Congratulations on this piece and on this quality! All senses were heartwarmingly nourished in the highest quality. When art is so good - then it is nourishment for the soul in its most beautiful form.
