L’oiseau bleu

About the show

Tyltyl and Mytyl, the children of a poor woodcutter, see a wealthy neighbour preparing for Christmas. Fairy Berylune asks them to find the blue bird to restore her sick child’s happiness. A magic cap makes objects and animals speak. The children visit the Land of Memory, the Palace of the Night, the Garden of Happiness, a cemetery, and the Kingdom of the Future but cannot capture the bird. In the morning, they discover their own turtle dove has turned blue and give it to a neighbour’s sick child. The bird eventually escapes.
