Product Description THE CLASSICAL CHILD AT THE OPERA* was created to give children a taste of the magic, majesty and humor of this glorious art form. Be surprised and delighted by hearing your child sing some of the world's best opera music for children. Recorded with an orchestra, pieces were chosen from children-friendly operas, and all are sung in English. The richness of the stories are enhanced by a libretto that accompanies the CD version. Enter the enchanted world of Hansel & Gretel, The Magic Flute, The Mikado and more. This is an award-winning album* of opera music for children, praised by Billboard as ...one of the best kids records of the year! Review "...One this years best releases for children!" --BILLBOARD MAGAZINE P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Artist It's my hope that this recording will not only be a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable experience for children, but will also spark their curiosity about the stories, the music and the dramatic form itself that this collection is taken from. If I've done my job well, kids who listen will be tickled, amused, bemused and awestruck by what they hear and imagine ...and they may even want to attend an actual opera with you! And what an adventure and a learning experience that will be...for all of us. Enjoy! Sincerely,Ernest MavridesProducer See more

the classical child at the opera
This is an excellent choice... I love that it is an English translation, and does not distort the beauty of the music in order to suit children. Beautiful to listen to and lots of fun. I bought this for my 5, 3, an 1 year old and just bought one for my 5 year old niece. I love it for myself to. I just order my own full length opera (the magic flute) because of this cd.

Great for kids
As the title of the CD implies, this is a great CD for kids who like to sing and especially if they have been subjected to some classical music. Our grandchild, only age 4, loves it and sings along the best that she can for being so young. The lyrics are in English, so that really helps.

Bought this for a song for my piano students
My piano students spend 20 minutes at the computer doing music theory games. I found this on Amazon for a song, less than the postage, and the kids have enjoyed it and a diversion from the harder stuff. Educational while serving to "cleanse the palate" for the next course of music theory!

Good selections, weak voices
For parents/grandparents who know opera and want to introduce their children/grandchildren to it this recording has a nice selection of works but the singers are not first rate. Anyone used to glorious classical voices is likely to be disappointed (anyone used to popular voices may or may not notice). Our 2-year-old granddaughter loves some of the selections but to my disappointment I find it unpleasant to listen to.

Not what I expected but good
I thought this would be kids singing opera but it's not. It's a collection of well-known opera songs. My daughter (5) loves it and tries to imitate them.

Fun CD
Great CD for introducing kids (or adults!) to the joys of opera. All the songs are very catchy and easy to sing along with after you've listened a few times. The Barber of Seville is particularly fun...

Classical music for children
My almost 3 year old loves this and 'sings' along!!! It is great for me too as I can now understand the words to this wonderful music from the opera.
