Synopsis

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.
