The naughty child destroys his books, breaks his toys, beats up the chairs in his room so is grounded. The contents of the room come alive and give him a taste of his own medicine. The creative designs of Maurice Sendak give this Ravel opera a new magic.
L'here Espagnole, also by Ravel with production design by Sendak, is the story of a clockmaker's flirtatious wife, who hides her admirers inside the clocks. 101 min. DVD
