Product Description

"Engaging....The text and illustrations exude the glamour, passion, and lyricism of opera."--"Publishers Weekly" Jane Rosenberg's delightful retelling for children of the greatest operas is now available again. Whether the tales are read as introductions to a opera or to relive a production already seen, art and text combine to give a clear understanding of plot, scene, and character. Young children in particular will enjoy reading the stories--or having them read--both as lovely fairy tales and to help them share in the magic of a real dramatic performance. Here are the gaiety of "The Barber of Seville" and the lavish spectacle of "Aida," Sets, costumes, and lighting are re-created to give the true flavor of authentic productions and to approximate, as fully as possible, the experience of attending the opera oneself. 44 illustrations, 29 in color.
