It is a small opera freely based on a famous Andersen fairy tale, sung by children's voices and performed by a small ensemble. Both the 7 main roles and the chorus are designed to allow children and young people to express themselves through the language of opera, with sung dialogues and small arias. The score was written with traditional productions in mind, staged by opera houses, but also for performances in schools, in small concerts or recitals.
The opera takes place in China, in an unidentified but past time. The queen has the nightingale living in her kingdom captured, which is famous for its sublime song, but the queen of Japan, envious, sends a mechanical nightingale that sings impeccably every time a button is pressed. A competition is held, and the music master declares the mechanical nightingale the winner, as it can repeat its song in exactly the same way each time, and the real nightingale, saddened and offended, flies away. When the queen goes to start the mechanical nightingale, it breaks after just a few notes, and it is impossible to make it work again. The queen, devastated, remains in silence, alone, when death arrives and explains that by chasing away the real nightingale, she has driven away life. To live wonderfully, one must be curious and open to changes, and therefore to variations. At that moment, the real nightingale returns to the palace and, chasing away death, the queen recovers.
