| Description: |
Pinocchio is a naughty, disobedient wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy. But as long as he misbehaves and disappoints his father, old Gepetto, he is doomed never to become one. He finally realizes what is demanded of him after many adventures. The music is by Bartok, Gershwin and Britten. |
| Synopsis: |
One rainy day, while daydreaming about how happy his life would be if he had a son of his own, a humble toy maker named Geppetto starts carving a puppet. And except for the single outstanding feature of a magnificently long nose, which makes the puppet appear somewhat mischievous, Pinocchio looks very much like a little boy, indeed. Just as Geppetto adds the finishing touches, however, Pinocchio springs to life and flees the cottage in search of adventure---only to discover that what he wants most of all is right at home. Based on the Italian novel by Carlo Collodi, this buoyant adaptation features the lush, engaging watercolors of Brian Ajhar. |
