  3. The Gold Bug


A powerful storm is raging over the island when Albert and his daughter Lilith knock at Sam and his grandfather William’s door. William opens up and tells them excitedly of his latest discovery, a beautiful, precious glittering golden bug. He is convinced that the insect has magic powers and tries everything he can think of to unlock them. In the process the boundaries between fantasy and reality become increasingly blurred and soon the four characters find themselves caught up in a thrilling adventure with secret messages, pirate escapades and a legendary treasure trove.

Based on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, award-winning author Hannah Dübgen has written an exciting libretto which tells of gold rush fever and obsession but also of friendship and child-like curiosity.
