Die Kluge by C. Orff

Independent Opera Company is thrilled to present "Die Kluge" (The Wise Woman) by C. Orff

ABOUT THE SHOW

A poor peasant’s honest mistake lands him in the dungeon—just as his clever daughter predicted. When her sharp wit saves her life in a battle of riddles, she rises from poverty to the throne. But when the new queen outsmarts the king himself, banishment follows… with one last trick up her sleeve. Carl Orff’s Die Kluge is a witty Grimm fairy tale brought to life with driving rhythms, earthy humor, and theatrical sparkle—where cleverness wins the crown, and love has the final laugh.
