Dragontale: A Children's Opera

DRAGONTALE is a children's opera to be performed by elementary and middle school children. It tells the story of an independent, strong-willed princess who dismisses the suitors chosen by her parents, and finds her own true love. It is an "interspecies" romance, in that the male lead, the dragon, does not turn into a human, nor does the princess become a dragon. It explores a loving relationship based on mutual interests and respect. Both the lyrics and music were written by Ruth I. Rubin.
