As a joint venture of the NPO Room 28 and Edition Room 28, the children's book telling the plot of the opera Brundibár will be published in Ukrainian language. The project could be realized with support of the Foreign Office of Germany. Many thanks! 

The book was translated into Ukrainian by Galina Palaguta. She has already translated the libretto of the children's opera Brundibár into the Ukrainian language. Galina is from Kharkiv and fled to Warsaw after Russia attacked the Ukraine. Galina was guest of Room 28 in the beginning of this year. More on: https://www.edition-room28.de/brundibar-ukrainisch
