Award winning independent company Australian Contemporary Opera Co celebrates a return to the Melbourne main-stage with the revival of Gale Edwards brilliant and acclaimed festival production of the London and New York hit, The Enchanted Pig. This heartwarming, uplifting, tuneful family show has all the hallmarks of The Princess Bride, Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella - with sophisticated appeal for all ages.
The story tells of a young princess and her two sisters. Their father King Hildebrand warns them not to enter a secret room in the castle that contains the Book of Fate. Curiosity gets the better of them all and they disobey him. What they read in the book must now come to pass and so the older sisters will marry kings but the youngest, Flora, will wed a pig. Naturally, she is horrified, at least to begin with.
