Story Orchestra: Carnival of the Animals

Discover the sorcery of The Magic Flute in this musical retelling of the opera. Push the button on each beautiful scene to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing, and singers singing, from Mozart's score.

This tale of a prince, a princess and a magic flute begins in a mountain ridge between two magical lands. As you and your little one journey through the magical scenes, you will press the buttons to hear 10 excerpts from the opera's music. At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Mozart, with details about his composition of The Magic Flute. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines musical terms.

The perfect primer to introduce children to classical music.
