A pirate with a jungle beard, a garden parrot, and a lake filled with flying fish will be the stars of "Barbaverde en Mineralis," a chamber opera composed by Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, which combines contemporary music, puppetry, fantasy, and humor in a production that will premiere this Wednesday at the Degollado Theater.
