Presented by Rag and Bone Theatre.

In ancient China, the Emperor has everything, but he must choose between a mechanical clockwork nightingale studded with jewels, and a real nightingale whose song brings tears to his eyes. With exotic music, colourful puppets, storytelling and acting, The Nightingale is a highly imaginative, 60-minute production that will charm audiences ages 5 and up. Tickets $10, available through the Festival office at 613-241-0999, or at the door. In partnership with the Ottawa International Children’s Festival.
