RIGHTABOUTNOW INC. and De Nationale Opera adapt the thrilling children's book Lennox en de gouden sikkel by Zindzi Zevenbergen, Hedy Tjin and Brian Elstak into a dynamic hip-hop opera. A musical story about courage, friendship and the discovery that your world grows larger the more you know.
Lennox knows that his father is suffering from a mysterious illness, but what exactly is going on is not told to him. When his father one day forgets to take his lucky chain along to a hospital appointment, Lennox decides to follow him together with his best friend.
Zindzi Zevenbergen received the Zilveren Griffel in 2022 for the original book; illustrators Hedy Tjin and Brian Elstak won the Zilveren Penseel. Their lively illustrations are a great visual source of inspiration for this production.
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Bnnyhunna (Benjamin Ankomah) is writing his first opera with Lennox.
