![opera fall](/sites/default/files/inline-images/RavelStravinsky_WebImage.jpg")
The 杏吧原创 Opera Theater鈥攚ith director Dean Southern, conductor Harry Davidson and the 杏吧原创 Orchestra鈥攚ill present Stravinsky's Le Rossignol (The Nightingale) and Ravel's L鈥橢nfant et les Sortil猫ges (The Child and the Spells) November 7-10 in Kulas Hall.
Two charming tales of fantasy come to life in these one-act operas in which the human and non-human worlds meet in magical ways. Le Rossignol is based on Hans Christian Andersen鈥檚 fairy tale about an emperor whose love for a real nightingale鈥檚 song is challenged by the tinkling of a mechanical bird he receives as a gift. In L鈥橢nfant et les Sortil猫ges, a misbehaving young boy learns a valuable lesson from the animals, objects and even plants he has harmed.
All productions include projected English text.
