T1242247687A breathtaking show that broke box office records at Sydney Opera House, LOST AND FOUND ORCHESTRA - the latest production from the award winning creators of STOMP - is an 'utterly amazing' spectacle taking the audience on a musical journey like no other. All the instruments of an orchestra are replaced and reinvented in a unique performance that makes music a feast for the ears and the eyes... With its traffic cone trumpets, bellow-powered bottle-blowers, drain-pipe organs and musical saws, this is no ordinary concert: this is an 'exhilarating and strangely beautiful' triumph of music in motion. See how cacophony turns to symphony in this irresistible theatrical event. | |

T0640907436From the creators of Stomp Featuring a 50-strong orchestra of actors, dancers, musicians, singers and classically-trained instrumentalists, all playing found and invented instruments. Celebrating the ingenious concept of creating new instruments from found objects, Lost and Found Orchestra are part of a long tradition that ranges from the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, who play celeriac bongos and carrot recorders; and The [Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band], who created instruments from scratch (including the Mazda Marimba, made of lightbulbs). With violins replaced by saws, a timpani section of soup cauldrons and traffic cones becoming trombones, Lost and Found Orchestra provides an emphatic answer to the question, if Stomp were just the rhythm section, what on earth would the whole orchestra sound like? Throw in swinging aerial artists banging six-foot long rubber tubes, flying filing cabinets, performing shopping trolleys, musical vacuum cleaners and a brass bed bass and you have the makings of an unmissable Christmas show for audiences of all ages.Producer Loretto Sacco.
