Music school children give a taster of the new musical
Saturday, 13 April, from 11 a.m. on Neutorplatz in the city centre
On Saturday, 13 April 2024, children from the Bocholt-Isselburg musical group will present excerpts from their new musical entitled "Im Riff geht's rund" in public on Neutorplatz in Bocholt city centre, in front of the Stadtsparkasse. The performance starts at 11 am.
"Im Riff geht's rund" is the name of the current children's musical at the Bocholt-Isselburg music school. Under the direction of music school teachers Stefanie Bergmann and Luanda Schillings, over 50 children aged between five and 17 have been rehearsing every week for almost a year in the auditorium of the Süd-Ost school centre in Bocholt. The "Jekits choir" from the Maria Montessori School in Bocholt is also taking part again.

The musical children embark on an exciting adventure deep down in the sea. Colourful parrot fish, sparkling glittering minnows, the funny puffer fish Elsi and many other sea creatures prepare for the underwater casting show "Frutti di Mare". Who can sing and dance the best?
In all this excitement, "Flapo", the message in a bottle, is suddenly propelled and has something important to say. But who wants to listen to such an old bottle? Her performance is extremely poor - she can't even swim properly, let alone dance. But Flapo makes friends: can the buxom jellyfish, the optimally networked herring or the erudite Doctor Fish help? Sometimes life is like a game, but sometimes you have to listen to others. The characters in this colourful underwater world soon understand this too. The message in the bottle is explosive. Can the reef still be saved? ...
Not only the casting fish, but many other original characters invite you to a dazzling mix of musical styles that is fun and catchy - in an imaginative show with "depth".
"Many children already familiar from the last musicals will be taking part", reports musical director Stefanie Bergmann. There are also children who will be performing on a big stage for the first time. "With our small taster on Saturday in front of the Stadtsparkasse, we will be showing small excerpts from our play", says Bergmann, looking forward to the performance.
