Help! Help! The Globolinks! Is a science-fiction opera for children by Gian Carlo Menotti where strange alien creatures can only be destroyed by music. The Globolinks in this German production look like they stepped out of a Matta painting. They are accompanied by some fantastic and bizarre electronic blip-blop squeeling which adds a nice contract to the neoclassical fanfare. Youtube version here.
Wait, they can only be destroyed by music, but they're in an opera(!!). That's really not fair, someone should warn them.

I guess Opera isn't music enough to destroy the Globolinks.
I feel sad for them. So tender and sensitive.
