Operdiva’s canary Pipinella reports with great concern that her lover – the world’s best tenor Cīps – has disappeared. Dr. Doolittle and his trusted friends are involved in the search – the parrot Polynesia, the pig Gebgeba, the dog Jip, as well as the best connoisseur of the streets of London, the cheeky Zvirbulen. Will Cīps be there and the opera will be staged? Will Dr. Doolittle succeed in defeating the evil con man Mr. Dornton? From January 11, you will hear, see and feel more in the legendary “Bird Opera” by Jānis Lūsēns and Māras Zālītes.
