I'm delighted to present Hansel and Gretel: digital storybook project in collaboration with my friends at Opera Anywhere! With brand new illustrations, text and audio recordings throughout, this is a lovely (and free) resource for school children on Humperdinck's fairytale opera. More info (and in-depth video introductions to the music, characters and scenery) on the brand-new website. |
