In this version, broadcasted by RadioRAITRE, Scrooge (actor) personally tells the story of his redemption with the help of some ghosts (4 singers).

Scrooge talks about himself, and so the show is more direct, lively and dramatic.

Together with Scrooge we go through childhood, youth and maturity with irony, melancholy and hope into a better future.

The music is very eclectic, because the composer uses several different styles of composition, from Renaissance music to romantic one, from operas quotations to contemporary ones.
