The opera Nils Karlsson Däumling tells children about empathy and how friendship develops.

Bertil is bored on his own. One day, he discovers a person in a mouse hole, Nisse, who is as small as a thumb.

It is the thirst for discovery, the joy of playing and the need to solve concrete situations that bring the two children together.

The power of imagination teaches to reimagine the world, and the world is more exciting when we are in the company of a true friend.
