In a dazzling display of sleight-of-hand, the main stage can drop 28 ft. into the subterranean storage chambers and emerge with a teahouse, garden, bridge and cherry orchard all ready for Madame Butterfly's entrance. Meanwhile, the three wagons can be loaded with upcoming scenes and wait to glide into the center-stage slot at the push of a.button. For other effects, the backstage Merlins can conjure...
