Synopsis

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.

  • An exuberant, three-act storyline built around a vanished hour and a magical flask
  • Memorable characters, including Rip Van Winkle, Katrina, Peterkee, and Hendrick Hudson
  • Dynamic choral and ensemble moments set against a playful, theatrical score
  • A vivid, entertaining fusion of legend, fantasy, and period-style music

Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic tales with a musical edge and fans of classic American folk operas.
