According to artistic director András Almási-Tóth, the opera about a child trapped in a chimney and tried to be rescued by his little friends "is a classic liberation opera translated into a children's adventure film.” The production is the latest addition the wide repertoire aimed at young audiences at the OPERA to present a new opportunity to introduce the genre to younger generations.

“I've captured a terrific storm of elements and of hearts which gradually calms to Brünnhilde's magic sleep,” Wagner on the score of Die Walküre, in a letter to Ferenc Liszt. Following on the heels of the introductory Das Rheingold, this opera about the tragic love between two of Wotan's children constitutes the start of the more tightly drawn dramatic trilogy. Once again, the laws of the gods clash: can paternal love save a lad who has violated the sanctity of marriage?
