Mickey’s Grand Opera
0 views
Mickey is preparing to conduct an opera when he chases Pluto away. Pluto crashes into a magician’s props backstage and spars with the hat, its rabbits, and its doves. The opera begins: Clarabelle plays flute, Clara and Donald are the leads in Romeo and Juliet. Pluto follows the magic hat onstage, to Mickey’s growing annoyance. The hat falls into a tuba, and soon the animals are filling the stage.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Mickey conducting while Pluto wrecks everything from backstage, with a magician's hat supplying an endless stream of rabbits and doves. The high-culture-versus-chaos structure was a reliable one for the studio: put the characters in evening dress and then let a dog into the building.
