"With the lyrics translated into English, these fine performances of child-friendly opera tales are an excellent way to introduce younger generation ( or even oldsters )to the world of opera. We have purchased this for a few of our grandchildren and intend to give more as gifts in the future."
I finally understand what these arias mean!!!

"This CD is a treat for anyone who enjoys opera. It includes many well known arias. The words are printed out so it is easy to follow along, something that lets you tell the story to a child. This serves as a good introduction for anyone new to opera."
Great way to introduce the joys of opera to children

"When I came across this CD, I was interested and keen to discover if it lives up to its claim of being "The world's very best opera for kids...in English!" Well, it's that and much more. Even adults will love this, and the selection uncannily includes a lot of my favorite pieces like "La Boheme", "Tales of Hoffman", "The Marriage of Figaro", etc. I also loved the fact that it is in English, and the CD comes with complete lyrics (in English), opera synopses, and performers' biographies. The playing time runs to about 72 mins, and the recommended age is 4-adult. My preschooler loves music of all kinds (which we encourage) and has taken to this CD. Highly recommended!
