Who doesn't know the enchanting story of Mowgli, the foundling raised by wild wolves in the Indian jungle? It comes from the famous "Jungle Book," a collection of stories and poems by the British author Rudyard Kipling. The courageous Mowgli, the ever-cheerful bear Baloo, the clever panther Bagheera, and the evil tiger Shere Khan became world-famous in 1967 thanks to Walt Disney's fantastic animated adventure. Disney's "Jungle Book" is one of the most successful films of all time, not least because of its wealth of melodies that have long since become evergreens. And now you can experience these melodies in a completely new guise in concert. Author Patrick Rohbeck and arranger Stefan Goerge have reworked and arranged "The Jungle Book" for the Thuringia Philharmonic Gotha-Eisenach. Join us in the mysterious jungle and experience a captivating story about a friendship that transcends boundaries. Sing along with the wacky orangutan King Louie, laugh at the hilarious elephant parade, and be hypnotized by the cunning snake Kaa. Of course, the Oscar-winning song "The Bare Necessities" is also included. This and all the other fantastic hits make "The Jungle Book" a unique musical treat for the whole family.

And we end – where else? – on the streets of Edwardian London, with Hough’s own bravura arrangements of songs from Mary Poppins.
