<p class="MsoBodyText">Something is amiss in the court of the Great Emperor of
China. Obsessed by his worldly possessions, the Emperor has grown blind to the
needs of his people and the real treasures of life. In this humorous adaptation
of the classic fairy tale, ancient Oriental gods, the Nightingale, and the
audience join forces to cure the Emperor of his possessive and grasping ways. This
compelling story also involves lovely song and brightly executed dance. </p>
