Compagnie Minute Papillon (France)
The Cook Opera!
The Cook Opera! is a lyrical and spicy concert for little and big gourmets—a playful musical performance for audiences aged four and above.
Two cooks have a new mission: to prepare the restaurant's menu. But they are more than chefs—they are musicians, passionately devoted to rhythm, melody and, above all, opera.
In their hands, kitchen utensils become musical instruments: an oven rack transforms into a harp, a frying pan into a double bass, and countless other everyday objects come to life. Together they perform beloved melodies by Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, Rossini and Bizet, seasoned with rap, jazz and musical influences from around the world.
