Libretto uses the unaltered text of the play (originally titled „The Ugly Duckling“ by A.A. Milne). (No relation to the famous Anderson fairytale). Comic opera, suitable for both adults and children. Sophisticated musical style, yet accessible with colorful orchestral and vokal writing. Contains many brilliant arias, duets and a funny septet. Excellent material for a television special.
