for 2008 Our 41st Season! An original retelling of the classic story. The Emperor and The Nightingale nce upon a time, in China, long ago, there lived a nightingale,a plain little bird who sang the most beautiful songs imaginable. Eventually the little bird becomes so famous that even the rich and powerful emperor is eager to meet her, and the nightingale is given a special place in his court. Everyday she sings her beautiful songs for him until... the emperor receives a costly jeweled mechanical bird that sings. Everyone in court is delighted with this new toy and the nightingale is quickly forgotten. Until one day the emperor falls ill... and only the modest nightingale knows how to help him. This enchanting tale by one of the world’s greatest storytellers, Hans Christian Andersen, has been beautifully adapted for the stage by Kit Goldstein especially for the Schenectady Theater for Children’s 2008 season. Vibrantly and richly told, The Emperor and The Nightingale will linger in the hearts and minds of children long after the performance has ended.
