Step
into
a
world
of
French
wonder
and
whimsy
in
these
two
one-act
operas.
With
a
libretto

French
novelist
Colette,
Ravel’s
score
escorts
us
through
a
magical
world
in
which
a
mischievous
child
meets
animals
and
objects
who
talk
and
teach
him
how
to
have
compassion.
Then
accept
the
invitation
to
Mr.
Cauliflower’s
hilarious
musical
soiree
where
famous
opera
singers
are
expected
to
perform,
but
will
they
show
up?
