Fairy Tales for the Soul: Introducing Children to the Magical World of Opera
Fairy Tales of Opera by P.S. Menconi - The Opera and children do not often go hand in hand, and yet, what is more magical in the eyes of a child than tales of old, told brand new.
Fairy Tales of Opera features two iconic retellings of Operas, specifically developed for the magical fairy tale world of children stories by author P.S. Menconi and accompanied by beautiful illustrations penned by Greta Castellani.
Fairy Tales of Opera introduces children to two of Italian Opera’s most prestigious Operas; Aida and Turandot. You can expect your child to be transported to the historic and enriching lands of Ancient Egypt and Ancient China, to meet the likes of Princess Turandot and General Radames.
Stories filled with conflict, love, courage, and hardship are integral for empathy development within childhood – and the fantasy world of fairy tales will fuel their imagination and creativity.
“The idea for this book was born when my son Jacopo at the age of three, began to listen to the famous Arias of the Operas,” says Menconi, elaborating that his desire with this publication is to “bring children closer to [Opera’s] magical stories with a publication created specifically for them.”
Fairy Tales of Opera has been described by Josè Carreras, famous Spanish operatic tenor, as an ‘important initiative’, as well as a ‘beautiful publication’ that will bring ‘young readers closer to a fabulous world … that of Opera’.
These fairy tale retellings will undoubtedly spark a life-long interest in musical culture.
This superbly illustrated book has a five-star rating on Amazon, with reviews hailing the book’s ability to endure time.
