From the author of Welcome to the Symphony and Welcome to Jazz, this musical picture book introduces children ages 4 to 8 to the world of opera with 12 interactive sound buttons and an illustrated performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Join three adorable dogs for a performance of Mozart’s beloved masterpiece in this illustrated introduction to opera. As the story unfolds, readers learn about the essential parts of opera—voice parts like soprano and tenor; vocal techniques like recitative and melisma; arias, the orchestra, the chorus, sets, costumes, plot, and more!

12 interactive sound buttons let kids hear examples of musical concepts as they read: a soprano sings a heartfelt aria, a powerful bass sings recitative, and the chorus harmonizes during the dramatic finale!

Welcome to the Opera is the third book in music educator Carolyn Sloan’s hugely successful Welcome to … picture book series that introduces classic musical genres to young readers.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Nonfiction
  • Music
  • Classical

  • Carolyn Sloan's delightful Welcome to the Opera is precisely that, a warm welcome to opera. With details filling every page, humor, and easy to understand language, this book will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike and it most definitely will inspire them to go see an opera!
    Sasha Cooke, Grammy-Award winning International and Metropolitan Opera star
