Christmas Concert for Families

Die Weihnachtsgans Auguste/Auguste, the christmas goose

 Christmas concert for families: Sunday December 9 2018, 11 am

Luitpolt Löwenhaupt thinks he has had a brilliant idea when he buys a live, 5 kilo goose: it should be a treat for his family on Christmas Eve, served up with red cabbage and apples. His family come to love the goose, who they call Auguste. The father realises it is not going to be so easy to persuade them to let him put it in the oven ... The family rise up against him when he is preparing to send Auguste to goose-heaven …
