The Singing Child
Composer:Gian Carlo Menotti
Librettist:Gian Carlo Menotti
Synopsis
A child of career-oriented, culture-vulture parents is left alone too often with a babysitter he does not like. Desperate for a companion to play with, 8-year-old Jeremy imagines a secret friend that appears as a singing child who chants, but never utters words. The two children learn to communicate this way, to the distraction of the parents who cannot see or hear this visitor. Eventually the parents realize their responsibility and the needs of their child; familial happiness returns and Jeremy speaks once again. A cautionary tale about children’s separation anxieties and emotional abandonment.
