In our original post, we asked a series of questions related to the book. Now we are asking these questions as they relate to our 2009 revision of the opera.
What do you think about the story?:
1) What are some real-life examples (historically and internationally) of how being virtuous like Iris has paid off in real life?
2) Some say the wedding is not the end of the story but the beginning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
3) In what ways is the Prince a role model for smart young men?
4) In what ways does this story have all the “parts” of a fairy tale? What’s missing? What’s totally different from a typical fairy tale, in your opinion?
5) In what ways does Iris’s relationship with the birds help the world around him (his community)?
6) Can you find other examples — in other stories, or in real life?
7) Can you think of any other fairy tales have the same relationships between family members? (Ask friends and family)
8) Can you think of any other stories can you find where birds play a large role?
(Ask friends and family)
