ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
A family has just moved into a new house. The parents have set up the children’s playroom to give them a safe place to play while the movers bring the rest of the furniture and boxes. The children accidentally cause a magic door to open in the closet, and two young dragons emerge. After some disbelief and confusion, the four young beings become friends and learn about each other’s ways. Toward the end of the opera, the children in the audience are recruited to sing a magic formula that saves the human boy from being trapped in the dragons’ world.
