Basilio, Little Rat of the Opera

Content : Dancing is Basilio’s passion. Whenever he can take to the dance floor, pirouette, leap and glide, he feels as though he is flying. Now an exciting audition is coming up at his ballet school at the Opera House. Who will be the new Mouse King? Basilio can hardly believe his eyes: it is his favourite role!

Basilio knows the Mouse King’s part like the back of his paw. He gives it his all at the audition, takes his chance and wins the role! But until the night of the performance, nothing is certain. Solor, his overconfident understudy, tries to put him off, while rehearsals are gruelling and demanding. One evening, when Basilio sneaks away to dance alone on stage, the Phantom of the Opera appears! He gives Basilio the courage he needs. On the big night, Basilio will indeed don the Mouse King’s cape and become a star dancer.
