On his way home from the market, the merchant Merkantil notices a fragrant rose bending over the gate of an abandoned castle. He plucks it, and in doing so incurs the wrath of the palace’s owner, the mysterious Beast… What happens next? Who dares to step through the castle gates? And can the spell be broken? Cheerful songs and touching moments await the audience in this playful yet heartfelt story by Péter Tóth and Anna Mechler, first premiered in 2026. The opera, which is not only a fairy tale for children but also a work performed by children, makes is clear that the greatest miracle of all is trust and love.
