| Summary |
"Let's make an opera is divided into three parts, the first two of which are conceived as pure drama and feature little in the way of musical interludes. In Act one, Mrs. Parsworthy tells a story she had once heard from her grand mother to the children in her care at Iken Hall. It is the tale of Sam, a young chimneysweep. The children are so fascinated by the story that they decide to turn it into an opera. Act two shows them hard at work rehearsing for the performance. And Act three, which is an independent entity and suitable for performance on its on w, narrates the actual tale of The little sweep. In this film, the director Petr Weigl has reworked and enriched the two-part prologue to the story through the introduction of additional characters"--Insert, p. 6. |
