Frail as a flower, the doddering old king gently wandered off into happy thoughts....

Kaspar is based on the whimsical tenor king in Menotti’s opera, “Amahl and the Night Visitors.”

In the European tradition of an elaborate creche  scene, or presipio, he is costumed more in a  spirit of extravagance than historical accuracy.
