All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Saturday, November 14, 2026, 11:00 AM. The listing gives an event window of 11:00 AM–12:00 PM and describes the opera rendition as 30 minutes; its exact ending time within that window is not specified.
A rooster, a dog, a cat and a donkey set out looking for a better life—and find a reason to make music together—in Dallas Opera’s version of The Bremen Town Musicians. The Lochwood performance brings that compact animal tale to an outdoor mobile stage.
Eddie Pensier, a rooster whose singing gets him sent away from the farm, meets Barcarolle the dog, Dorabella the cat and General Boom the donkey on the road. Each feels unwanted and hopes for a different life; together, they become a band.
Friendship, teamwork and kindness are the ideas Dallas Opera attaches to the story. Here, they grow out of the animals’ choice to join forces, giving the mini-opera a clear story beyond its unusual cast.
