The fair has come to town, and after waiting all year the children are excited to ride the tea cups, hook a duck and consume their favourite fairground treats, leaving a trail of litter and plastic behind them. The children are disappointed when the fairground loses power, but this quickly turns to dread when an alien spaceship decends. Are the children doomed, or is the arrival of these strange beings the answer to all their problems?
With music by Raymond Yiu and libretto by Russell Plows, this new Snappy Opera was developed remotely, during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, with a year 5 class from Hull, and is due for completion by Summer 2021.
