The Arabian Nights

A thousand years ago, a battle unfolds with the cries of a clarinet and the flash of a flute. Only Sheherazade and her fabulous storytelling can halt the drums of war.

Listen, then, with the Sultan as Sheherazade spins out the Tale of Ali and the Magic Bag, a bag that contains cadenzas, crescendos and the secrets to imagination itself. Next, a monstrous Rukh’s egg threatens Aladdin’s home - and it’s his own fault. Can his friends, including the famous genie, avert disaster? Finally, a young inventor competes for the love of his queenly mother by conjuring a song so perfect that it outshines even the magical Ebony Horse. Told as only Sheherazade and Tales & Scales can, these are the Arabian Nights as you’ve never seen them before! 

  • “Ali & The Magic Bag” and “Aladdin”: Written by Mark Rigney, Directed by Diane Brewer, music developed improvisationally by Tales & Scales
  • “The Ebony Horse”: Written by Chris Limber, Composed by Doug Lofstrom, Directed by Gary Race & Diane Brewer

Approximately 50 minutes in length with introduction and instrument demonstrations by Tales & Scales Musictellers. Two of the three stories listed above (Ali & the Magic Bag, Aladdin, and The Ebony Horse) will be performed depending on age group and availability.

Orchestral version available.
