The Three Feathers is a magical opera for children and adults of all ages. Based on a tale by the Brothers Grimm, the story depicts shy Princess Dora's journey, as she follows her magic feather to the Underworld ruled by a mysterious Frog King. Through a combination of courage, determination, loyalty and kindness, Dora triumphs and saves her kingdom. The Three Feathers has excitement, adventure, comedy and joyful chaos. And the Underworld scenes, in particular, allow for great originality of music, text, and theatrical magic. We view The Three Feathers as a contemporary Magic Flute. It is scored by chamber orchestra, in one Act lasting 80 minutes. The musical style is a hybrid of opera and American musical theatre.
