Half Moon Theatre has commissioned a brand new children’s opera based on the Grimm Brother’s fairy tale, The Fisherman and His Wife. Perfect for elementary school children, this musical reading tells the story of a boy who captures a magical fish with the power to grant any wish. But what happens to the boy when his parents get carried away with wishing for their every materialistic desire? Will the boy’s family realize in time what is truly important in this world?
This project is made possible (in part) through a grant from the Dutchess County Arts Council, administrator of public funds through NYSCA’s Decentralization Program.
This reading of The Magic Fish is also made possilbe in part by the Ann and Abe Effron Fund of the Community oundation of Dutchess County.
