Writing and producing an opera is no small feat. It marries the art of music and theatre, so it’s nothing without a gripping storyline! In this episode, Zara is re-writing the plots to three popular operas, based their title, main characters and a single plot point. The first, is the story of a prince named Tamino who turns the world into cheese. The second, a love story about an evil boy who does karate. And finally, a composer and his friends making music on a piano named Tenor.
