Tra la la la! Can an opera house mouse and a disrespectful diva make beautiful music together? Maybe . . . if she learns some manners! Fernando loves Mozart, Puccini, and Strauss, and lending a paw at the old opera house. Unfortunately, diva Delores wants no help from a mouse.

Fernando can save her - but only if Delores behaves. Will Delores hit a sour note? Or will she team up with Fernando . . . and bring down the house?
