When the son of a fisherman catches a magic fish who grants wishes, will the family remember what is truly important?  Or will they be swept away by their own greed?  The Brothers Knable present a sophisticated and accessible opera for young audience (and adults) that explores a theme as old as folklore and yet still relevent to our times.
