Do both Königskinder and The Knot Garden exist in multiple versions?
The Knot Garden The Knot Garden is the third opera by composer Michael Tippett for which he wrote the original English libretto. The work had its first performance at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on 2 December 1970 conducted by Sir Colin Davis and produced by Sir Peter Hall. There is a recording with the original cast.
Krasnoludek Krasnoludek (or "krasnal") (Russian: Краснолюдки) is a Polish mythological type of gnome / dwarf, common in many Polish and translated folk tales (for example, Brothers Grimm "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is translated into Polish language as "Królewna Śnieżka i siedmiu krasnoludków"). They resemble small humans and wear pointy red hats. Due to the popularization of fantasy literature, they are now differentiated from both gnomes (Polish: "gnom") and dwarfs (Polish: "krasnolud"), both of which are used in fantasy literature context, while the word "krasnoludek" still remains mostly the domain of older folk tales. The word "krasnal ogrodowy" is also used to describe garden dwarfs / gnomes.
