The Weaver’s Wedding, based on a Bengali animal fable will be performed by an intergenerational cast of 120 ranging from ages 6 to 82. Rajah, a weaver, is also, quite frankly, a bit of a fool. The weaver tries to get his work done, but ends up making a mess of everything. Rajah's friend, the clever Jackal, is determined to straighten out the weaver's life by finding him a wife - the King's daughter, no less. With the help of a crowd of noisy animals and birds, the Jackal sets Rajah on the road to riches and success--but in the end, it's the Princess, not the Jackal, who really changes his life.

Translated and adapted by renowned British poet William Radice with music composed by Bernard Hughes, the opera was commissioned by the W11 Opera for Young People in London, England and first performed in December 2006 in London.
