Longy's Opera Workshop performs two one-act operas. In Captain Lovelock, we meet two sisters who join forces with their maid Pernille, and friend Madame Kirsten to prevent their mirror-obsessed and widowed mother Terentia from attempting to marry a handsome young officer.

The scene for Zemlinky's Der Zwerg is set when a Spanish princess is given the unusual birthday gift of a dwarf who is unaware of his physical deformity. The princess takes it upon herself to make sure he sees his true reflections in a mirror. While he is devastated, she callously returns to her birthday party.
