Join the library and students from the University of Oklahoma for a performance of the youth educational opera The Three Billy Goats Gruff using John Davies' operatic version of the story.
Join Norman Public Library West and students from the University of Oklahoma for a performance of the youth educational opera The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Singers will present John Davies' operatic version of the story of The Billy Goats Gruff based on scenes from operas by W. A. Mozart, G. Donizetti and G. Rossini. An after school game of hide and seek is ruined for three billy goat friends when a big bully blocks a bridge, preventing them from being able to go home. Remembering what their moms, dads and teachers have told them about dealing with b es, two boy billy goats resolve to go home a different, longer way and share their difficulties with grownups. The littlest girl goat, however, not wanting to abandon the beloved doll that's been snatched from her, tromps to the crest of the bridge and, confronting the bully, prevails by inadvertently pushing him into the creek below. Concerned for his well-being she shows her would-be adversary kindness by asking if he's OK. He responds by asking if she's OK. By the time the two boys return with help, she's able to introduce a soggy, forlorn ex-bully as their new friend.
