Mirette
Composer:Harvey Schmidt
Librettist:Elizabeth DiggsTom Jones
Synopsis
Set in 1890s Paris, “Mirette” tells of the most unusual friendship between a strong-willed ten year-old girl and a jaded tightrope walker. Young Mirette is delighted when she discovers her mother's grumpy new boarder is none other than the Great Bellini, whose glorious tightrope-walking days were cut short when he lost his nerve.

Demonstrating an innate talent for balancing, she convinces the reluctant Bellini – against her mother's wishes – to teach her his craft. But when Bellini, determined not to disappoint the girl, stages a comeback performance only to find himself paralysed with fear, it is Mirette who must climb the wire and help him regain his courage.

With minimal production demands, an inspiring story and charming characters who will steal your audience's hearts (including the spunky title role and the gruff man whose icy exterior she breaks), “Mirette” joins the ranks of Schmidt and Jones shows that are sheer theatrical poetry.
