King Philip V of Spain suffers insomnia and depression. Queen Isabella brings the castrato Farinelli to court, hoping his singing will ease the king's illness; music and the unusual split between Farinelli as actor and singer reshape the court and their relationships.
A comic, melancholy play adapted from Louis Jenkins's poems and inspired by an ice-fishing trip. Its original version uses comic counterparts of figures from Wagner's Das Rheingold.
