A boy very much of our time, with a bright green shirt, headphones and a scooter, rolls startlingly onto the stage of the Lyric Opera House and stops in front of a double set of doors. He opens them to reveal an unexpected, mysterious closet from which he withdraws a violin case.
He removes his headphones and turns off the throbbing music emanating from them and withdraws the violin and begins to play a familiar, alluring melody. Suddenly, there are several loud knocks from inside the closet, and finally he opens the door to reveal Tevye, an instantly recognizable character.
