Performances

Humperdinck's 1893 opera, animated using 35 hand-sculpted dolls and lavish sets, done especially for children.

42 min. production with lavish sets and costumes, English narration and songs in German—perfect way to introduce children to opera.

Introduce Mozart's opera to children through the story adapted by Kyra Teis and the video of the shortened opera from the Children's Cultural Collection.

Every child who has read a Sendak book will recognize these costumes and sets as his. The Glyndebourne Opera Festival has taken full advantage of his talent in these 4 operas.

Composer Oliver Knussen with artist & author Maurice Sendak produce 2 fantasy operas of Sendaks children's books. 

Two Fantasy Operas created from Sendak's books are composed and conducted by Oliver Knussen with production design by Maurice Sendak himself.
