BORKA 2023 TOUR

Borka: The Opera was created in 2014 by librettist Tim Yealland and composer Russell Hepplewhite, based on the story book by John Burningham.  It toured the UK as part of the English Touring Opera Spring season, culminating in a magical series of performances at Kew Gardens, attended by John himself.  

2023 marks the 60th Anniversary of publication for Borka: The Adventure of a Goose with No Feathers.  Ignite Music, specialists in new classical music for young people, have been tasked by The John Burningham Estate to create a new production to mark this important achievement.  The libretto & score are ready, the puppets are being built, the initial designs are completed.  Help us to bring Borka back to the stage for a 2023 Anniversary Tour!
