An orphaned squirrel promises to prepare a feast for the King and his court in exchange for the gift of a set of golden teeth. What could go wrong?
This season’s Family Opera is a Canadian and English language premiere: Nino Rota’s The Witty Squirrel. Known for his famous film scores like The Godfather trilogy and La Dolce Vita, Rota’s cinematic style gives life to this vibrant tale about embracing talents, facing challenges, and making wise choices.
