How a production works

1. You get the full score, parts and script, and a first conversation about which version fits your hall.
2. Mathias rehearses with the orchestra and performs as storyteller, or works with your own narrator where the work allows it.
3. Teaching material goes to the schools before the concert, so the children arrive knowing the songs.
