The Alternative Stage of the Greek National Opera animates the musical fairy tale written by Lena Platonos in 1986 and presents a children’s opera that will travel us through music, fairy tale and animation, as a magical flight from the Far East to the stars! Andersen's fairy tale morphs into a parable about the relationship between art and technology, which nowadays is more topical than ever.
