When Aesop escapes his master and embarks on a journey to Mount Olympus, he learns some very valuable lessons, like "where there's a will there's a way" and "look before you leap!" You'll happily keep your eyes wide and your ears open to take in the colorful costumes, enthralling dance and spirited sounds of South Africa in this vibrant opera by the incomparable Isango Ensemble. Sung through in English and a mix of South African languages with a soaring live score of marimba music, sound advice sure sounds sunny in AESOP'S FABLES.
