Bringing to light one of his lesser-known performances
It was an occasion which justly created immense approbation (after some trepidation, consternation, and an assignation between three skeletons and some ducks).

Story
(Quest theme)
Act 1: Three (glow-in-the-dark) skeletons cast off in a makeshift ice tray ("Winken, Blinken, and Completely Obtuse" -- Almaviva doesn't get to go; his sword rusted) across the soft chop of Lake Rockmont, only to find themselves pursued by ducks.
Act 2: They sink. (A sad bit, that.)
Act 3: Typical "Underworld" scene ensues, even though it's actually under water. (Oh, yeah: cameo appearance by J. Cousteau and his love-interest, Willy.)
Act 4: Those ashore who witness these events lament the loss of the heroes (or at least the ice tray) and paraphrase Homer:
"And so we went back to the dorm,
Glad to escape our death
yet sick at heart for the ice tray we had lost."
It's all more Offagain than Onegin.
Grim. Very Grim.
