Stories from the Opera W/CD — Shahrukh Husain

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 new paperback with CD edition 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.
