Love stings greed: genuinely comic (children’s) opera with turbulent entanglements. How do I tell my child that opera is really great?
We do this in imaginative costumes to emotionally charged music and rousing arias. So we slip into other roles, big or small, and let off steam in the artistic stage design. Always aiming for the right note, we practice our sense of rhythm and produce great (musical) theater with and for each other. An old curmudgeon came within a hair’s breadth of marrying his ward in order to secure his inheritance. Hair-raising! Good that a handsome young man
goes to great lengths for his love. With the help of a cunning barber, he leads love to victory in a rivalry full of fun and cunning.
