Opera is one of the most spectacular and exhilarating art forms in the world, but is often perceived as being difficult for children to understand. This sumptuous anthology tells a different story. Author Shahrukh Husain has selected seven classical operas, retelling them in a way that will capture the imagination of today’s children. Each story opens with background information on the composer and a scene-setting introduction, while end-notes offer advice for parents on best recordings.
