Peter and Paul In The Land Of Nod
PETER AND PAUL IN THE LAND OF NOD is a recently found lost gem from operetta great, Franz Lehar. It tells the story of 2 boys who have been fostered by the shoe cobbler Master Kneipp and his wife. Unfortunately, Kneipp is more interested in drinking that being a father or a cobbler and the boys decide to run away. The spirits Shlendrianus (the spirit of laziness) and Laborosa (the spirit of goodness and industry) make a bet that each can win over the boys.
Soon Peter and Paul find themselves in the land of Nod. A land where no one works their body nor the mind and eats until they can eat no more. They run into its crazy King Schlampaprius, who imprisons anyone he wishes on a whim. Realizing getting everything you wish for isn't as great as they once thought, the escape the land before they can be imprisoned themselves.
This is one of the only English translations of the German classic for the WHOLE family, translated by Chicago Folks operetta's own Gerald Frantzen, Alison Kelly and Hersh Glagov. It boasts of a chamber orchestra, professional ballet dancers, a cast of 40 children and rounded out with professional actors and singers.
