It's principal conductor since 2009 has been the renowned American conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies. Musical Singspiel by Marius Felix Lange and Linard Bardill tells of Carol. She has a thousand wishes. She wants to fly, to breathe under water, to walk through walls. The jester Millistrade promises to grant her all her wishes if she sells him her sleep in return. Soon Carol realizes she can't go back. In the realm of the water king Aquatinta, it comes to a showdown, dream or reality, sleep or awakening.
