Do you know why Cheese is Yellow?

The Mice War is an Opera for kids
that teaches them about the absurdity of war
and acceptance of cultural diversity
while exposing them to classical music.

This is a little story about the industrious Blue Mice that live in the North and
the passive Red Mice that live on an Island way in the south.
The Blue Mice need to make more money so they decide they need to have a war.
The reason for the war?
The Blue Mice eat pink cheese and the Red Mice eat yellow cheese.
What would happen if the Red Mice came and made the Blue Mice eat yellow Cheese???
