What is Papa Panov about?

On Christmas Eve, lonely Russian shoemaker Papa Panov dreams that Jesus will visit his workshop the next day. Determined to welcome him, he prepares his finest gift and watches the snowy street. As Christmas unfolds, Papa Panov meets people who are cold, hungry or in need, and he offers each one kindness, warmth and food. But Jesus never appears as he expects. This musical retelling of Tolstoy’s classic story shows how love and generosity can reveal the true meaning of Christmas.
