Synopsis:

This beautifully crafted and emotionally rich performance offers its young audience a life lesson about true friendship, unconditional love, acceptance, tolerance, and the illusion of perfection.

In the story, the Nightingale captivates the capricious Emperor of China not only with her extraordinary song, but also with her soulful nobility, beauty, loyalty, and wisdom. Her natural, heartfelt voice cannot be matched by that of the mechanical Nightingale, who may be elegant, but is ultimately artificial. Alongside these central characters, the audience will also meet the Storyteller, the Advisor, the Court Composer, Death, and the Court Ladies. The show combines professionalism, vibrant visuals, and emotion to deliver a tale that’s as touching as it is timeless.
