Diamonds and ToadsGreater Worcester Opera is pleased to offer an original production for elementary age students. Diamonds and Toads is based on the French fairy tale by Perrault and tells the tale of two sisters, and how by way of a Fairy they learn the value of kind speech, and empathy. This tale has a valuable lesson, and is also an excellent introduction to the music of Mozart. The cast features Sandy Fritze as the Fairy, Erin Conley/Christine Petkus as Rose and Elaine Crane as Grace, with storybook sets and costumes. The production gave its first performance on January 30, 2009 in Worcester and has been delighting schools and communities throughout Massachusetts ever since.
