Televised opera version of the fable "Beauty and the Beast", with a prologue and epilogue by opera singer Maureen Forrester. Forrester also stars as the beast, along with Jocelyne Montpetit as "Beauty", Dulcinée Langfelder as Beauty's father, and Tony Brown as the Greek god, the queen and the prince. Wearing masks and costumes, the actors mime the story, accompanied by Forrester's voice-over narrative and singing for all characters. Music by the Orford String Quartet, painted fantasy sets, and animation effects assist in re-creating this tale of a beast transformed through his love of beauty. <30mn>
