A three-act folk opera blending whimsy, magic, and a vanished hour.
This musical tale by Reginald de Koven reimagines the Rip Van Winkle legend as a vivid stage work filled with charm, mischief, and a spectral moment when time stands still.
Set in the Catskill mountains in the mid-18th century, it follows Rip Van Winkle’s unexpected return to a changed world after a mysterious turn of events. The score invites you into town squares, inn rooms, and cliff-top scenes where magical appearances and theatrical high jinks unfold. The work features a colorful cast and lively musical numbers that drive the plot through wit, whimsy, and wonder.
Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic tales with a musical edge and fans of classic American folk operas.
