Laika The Spacedog
Laika the Spacedog is an award-winning, interactive opera for children aged 7-11, packed with music, drama and one of the greatest stories about a real animal ever told.
It is 1957 and the space race is well underway. As the Americans and Russians compete to be the first to launch an animal into orbit, the hunt is on to find a dog to fly on the Sputnik rocket. Then, one afternoon, a little dog called Laika is found in Moscow’s Gorky Park…
See the Kremlin, meet the Russian President, count down to the rocket launch, and sing along with English Touring Opera’s singers and orchestra in this fun-filled adventure for all the family.
Laika toured in 2013 to great acclaim, and in the autumn of that year travelled to Szeged in Hungary, where it won the Jury Prize and the University Prize as Best Production of the Armel Opera Festival. It was then performed at the Opéra Grand in Avignon. The opera also won the PRS David Bedford Music Education Award.
