The Martinu Festtage in Basel is an annual festival honoring the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů (1890–1959), who died in Liestal. Since 1995, the festival has presented a diverse program that includes not only classical concerts but also contemporary music, jazz, films, dance performances, and family concerts. It is known for its meticulous programming and first-rate artists. This year, the festival, which is regarded by the media as “the smallest but finest of its kind,” will include three concerts, a puppet opera, and one film.
Opera Diversa’s marionette opera is a work for children and adults, inspired by Martinů’s *The Marionettes.* Boža the mouse finds herself in the world of marionettes, where she experiences love and conflict and is accused of "ballet treason." Ultimately, through courage and self-sacrifice, she gains friendship and learns that a good heart can overcome any obstacle.
Tickets are CHF 15 for adults and CHF 5 for children.
