Charlotte and the Music Maker Tickets

Charlotte and the Music Maker is a charming Platypus Theatre education concert designed for young audiences (recommended ages 4+). The production blends theatre and live orchestral performance in a 50–60 minute journey that sparks imagination and curiosity about music. The central character, Charlotte, guides the audience through a musical adventure led by writer/actor Peter Duschenes, with an original Charlotte-centric score by Juno Award–winning composer Alain Trudel. Commissioned by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, this show has toured widely across Canada and the United States with esteemed ensembles such as the Edmonton Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Vancouver, and more. Expect a dynamic, engaging experience that pairs storytelling with a live orchestra and kid-friendly music selections ranging from Handel to Grieg, plus original compositions like Charlotte’s Journey. The production features striking visuals illustrated by Graham Ross and offers a pre-show instrument petting zoo where young guests can explore sound before the performance.
