"Sid the Serpent Who Wanted to Sing, a new opera for children which was designed to teach young people about singers, opera and terminology within the framework of a delightful story, has been presented for the first time this season to elementary students throughout the state.
Sid is a dancing serpent in the circus and more than anything, he wants to sing. His circus friends encourage him to study with the best voice teacher in Rome, and to visit the old-time music-hall in London where he tries to sing in a quartet. After failing with both these attempts at singing, he goes out into the world alone and tries his luck at different instruments and ends up in New York City with a new guitar, a new song and his big chance as a rock star on TV.
After "trying and failing at everything" Sid learns from his circus friends that he has been singing all along, in his own style, and that is what really matters. He rejoins the circus with his friends and is billed as "Sid the Serpent Who Sings."
