Description

Opera provides unique, complicated music and lyric patterns, shown to develop and stimulate minds. But with the vast array and sometimes adult themes, where do we start in exposing our children to this genre? This carefully chosen English translation includes selections from Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado, Mozart's Magic Flute, il Travatore, The Tales of Hoffmann, Carmen, and Hansel and Gretel. Don't let the word “opera" steer you away; the selections are varied, delightfully melodic and will appeal to children—and adults. Parent preview: while care is taken to have child-appropriate lyrics, I noted references to “Drank that wine," and “going mad." Neverthless, don't be surprised if you hear your children's voices floating about your home with renditions of “Tit Willow" and “A Bird Catcher am I". ~ Ruth
