The Trumpet of the Swan

Louis is a young swan born without a voice. With the help of a boy named Sam and a stolen trumpet, he sets out to prove that even the quietest among us can make the loudest impact.
The Trumpet of the Swan brings E.B. White’s classic novel to the stage as a novel symphony for actors and orchestra, featuring lively narration and a cinematic, lyrical score played live by Orchestra Victoria.
Presented by Opera Australia, running from Thursday 20 to Saturday 22 November 2026 at Regent Theatre, Melbourne. Perfect for all ages who love music and stories.
