Overview
In the opera "Windstorm in Bubbleland", a news team promises "There's never any trouble here in Bubbleland." What they do not know is that a windstorm is approaching. It's the by-product of a chemical company's aerosol spray. While all the residents are worried about their bubbles, Hildegarde Hummingbird strives to protect the people from the giant wind. Aired on May 23, 1980. This was one of the few operas of the series to take up the entire 30 minutes of the episode. This is one of the only episodes in the show's history that does not feature the show's logo in the opening. Instead, about 8 seconds into the beginning, the episode title, "Mister Rogers Makes an Opera", appears. This is also the only episode in the show's history where Mister Rogers does not change into his sweater. Instead, he is already in it when he enters the porch.
