Toadette, the Frog Opera

is a new operetta composed by Jack Dauner with a libretto by Kristin Hurst. 

It is performed by 8 instrumentalists and 5 singers.

​

Prince Ribit, a frog, falls madly in love with Toadette, a toad. Their families forbid their union, in accordance with Nature’s law: A frog must love a frog, and a toad must love a toad. Snatched away by a dangerous airborne predator, Prince Ribit falls prey to a trap of deception and grief, as Toadette awaits his return in despair — until death do them part… or unite.

Toadette the Frog Opera is a 45 minute journey to a fantastical amphibian world full of unforgettable characters, where cold blood runs hot.

Toadette’s enchanting score combines romantic-style music with folk elements and a touch of musical theatre to create a dream-like world for these love-stricken amphibians.
