Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse

Composer Andreas N. Tarkman brings the two main characters from the famous fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea" to musical life: the young princess who can feel a tiny pea through a huge number of mattresses, and the prince, who encounters many bizarre characters in his search for a real princess. Actress Chris Pichler narrates Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, while musicians from the Hessian State Orchestra and pianist Polina Grishaeva provide the music.
