Descripción de la:
I. Frogs want a king. They misunderstand Jupiter's warning against this stupid wish, whereupon he sends them a crane to eat them. II. In the past, the crows could sing beautifully. But when they try to imitate the fashionable neighing of horses, they lose this ability. III. A company of ships gets caught in a sea storm and begs the gods for help. After surviving the swell unscathed, they laugh at all the authorities in their regained joie de vivre and celebrate a boisterous party. (Introductory text in the program booklet of the Deutschlandsberg Youth Music Festival 1991) "These are three didactic pieces or school operas, composed in early 1967 for the Cincinnati Music Festival, where they were premiered in May 1968. I imagine that they can be performed in music schools, opera studios and colleges, in concert or stage. [...] The first lesson is about the difficulty of recognizing the advantages of the anarchist way of life, the second about modernism, and the third about the quick oblivion of a society that thinks it has gotten away with it once again. Each of the three operas is divided into numbers, they are short forms, small arias, recitatives, choral ensembles." (Hans Werner Henze)
