Description
From the author of Welcome to the Symphony and Welcome to Jazz, this musical picture book introduces children to opera with 12 sound interactive buttons and an illustrated performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Join three adorable dogs for a performance of Mozart's beloved masterpiece The Magic Flute in this illustrated introduction to opera-with 12 sound buttons! 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. Plus, 12 interactive sound buttons let readers hear examples of the 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 title in music educator Carolyn Sloan's successful Welcome to... sound chip picture book series that introduces classic musical genres to young readers.WARNING - KEEP BUTTON BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Swallowing may lead to serious or fatal injury in as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. Never allow children to replace button batteries of any device. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call the 24-Hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand) for fast, expert advice. Regularly examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely out of reach of children. A battery can still be dangerous even when it can no longer operate the device. Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.
