Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968)

Season 12: Episode 18

Mister Rogers arrives and quickly moves into the opera which has been planned throughout the week. The opera is to include various components from the previous four episodes and will focus around "Spoon Mountain." The opera opens with Joe Negri playing the part of the Storyteller as he sings an introductory tune. The royal family of King Kittypuss, Queen Mumsiebelle, and the Prince Extraordinary (played by Chef Brockett, Miss Paulificate, and Chuck Aber) are deciding who will celebrate a birthday today. After it is determined that it will be Queen Mumsiebelle's birthday, Kittypuss' surprise gift to her is a mountain -- Spoon Mountain.
