"Nukitsamees" (The Imp) by Oskar Luts belongs to the Estonian children's literature classics and was made into a film in 1981. Olav Ehala wrote the music for the film and in 1999 the namesake children's musical reached the stage of the Estonian National Opera. The songs of "Nukitsamees" (The Imp) are well known and loved – "Päikeseratas", "Valulaul" and "Kodulaul" have been in the programme of the song festivals. The fairy tale that talks about love, the power of goodness and care reaches the Vanemuine stages for the joy of all the small and the big.

Premiere on March 4, 2010 at the Vanemuine Small Building.
