Knightly News is an opera for children by Jonathan Stinson, the Artist in Residence at DVO for 2025. “Knightly News” is a one-act family opera, music composed by Jonathan Stinson and lyrics by Jonathan Stinson and Sarah Rogevich. Originally commissioned by Chicago Opera Playhouse, productions have been performed by Atlanta Opera, Green Light Vocal Productions in Illinois, and multiple schools throughout the country. Characters from “Cinderella”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “The Three Little Pigs make up the cast. Little Red has a crush on Prince Charming who has become a television news reporter. Pig and Little Red decide to look for Pig’s brothers and Little Red’s grandmother who all disappeared after witnesses heard a “huff and a puff”. In their search they are interviewed by Prince Charming who is still looking for a girl with the right sized foot to fit into a slipper left behind by a dance partner. Little Red convinces him he should stop looking and choose her, someone who would never run away from him. He agrees. Soon they are joined by the disguised Big Bad Wolf who pretends to want to help them search for their missing family members when, in fact, he really wants to eat them. But Wolf gives himself away. He is distressed that he is a failure at being a big, bad, wolf but Pig recognizes his talent as a demolition expert and hires him in her building business.
