ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The eccentric musings of an eight-year-old and her ten stuffed animals come to life in this one-woman chamber opera that toddles between the silly and the surreal. The libretto is an exact transcription of a video the composer’s sister had secretly made in their shared bedroom years earlier. It’s a truly fantastical, wacky story, in which fairy-tale tropes and hallmarks of children’s TV shows are enacted by a cast of animals: a virtuosic undertaking for the singer, who has to inhabit all eleven characters. Come witness childhood fantasies become a reality in this eclectic, joyful opera.
