What is the story of The Thieving Magpie?
Rossini’s 1815 opera, The Thieving Magpie, tells of a household maid who nearly goes to the gallows for stealing silver from her employers. At the last instant, it’s revealed that the silver thief was actually a magpie that had been hiding items in the church tower.
I recall that in The Castafiore Emerald ( by Herge), this idea is incorporated.
