Description
What is an opera? It is a story told through music. Mister Rogers' "Spoon Mountain Opera" tells the tale of the brave Park Ranger Betty Green and the daring Prince Extraordinary and their mission to mysterious Spoon Mountain. They must rescue the Purple Kitty from the clutches of Wicked Knife 'n' Fork.
But when the Prince and Betty are captured, their fate looks bleak. Then the gallant Commodore appears and saves the day by revealing the secret of the mountain: Love can be found in the most unexpected places. We learn why Knife 'n' Fork has been "Wicked," and the story ends with new understanding and caring friendships.
No matter what people are like on the outside, it's who they are on the inside that's most important.
