Synopsis
A playful folk opera where a legendary reawakening meets a wedding gone awry. This mid-18th century tale blends humor, magic, and music as Rip Van Winkle’s world shifts at sundown with a magical flask and a dramatic reappearance from the past.
Set in the Catskill Mountains, the story moves from a village green to a churchyard and back, weaving a chorus of Dutch townsfolk, woodsy gnomes of legend, and a ship’s crew who sing their way into the tale. The work blends period mood with supernatural spark, anchored by a diverse cast and a lively score.
The book offers a vivid musical diary of scenes, songs, and character moments—from the village bustle at an inn to the charged wedding night that turns spectral and spectacular. It invites listeners and readers to savor a whimsical, old‑world atmosphere played out in three acts.
- Experience a historical folk opera with a fairy-tale twist and a magical turn at sundown.
- Meet a colorful cast, including Rip Van Winkle, Peterkee, Katrina, and Hendrick Hudson’s crew.
- Follow the setting—from the village green to the inn, church, and mountain peak—through vivid stage directions and a dynamic score.
- Enjoy a blend of humor, drama, and supernatural spectacle that marks Reginald de Koven’s distinctive style.
Ideal for readers who enjoy classic Americana, stage music, and tales of improbable revival with a wink of magic.
