My Favorite Opera For Children

Owned this CD, but played it so many times it wore out !Happy to have a new one

A gift for my grandson for Xmas. Loves opera. Goes to sleep each nite listening to this cd.

I was disappointed in this CD because it contained a little too much opera for children to understand - there was also some actual dialog in one of the numbers that I didn't even understand, let alone my little grandsons! I would have preferred some different operas than some of the ones on this CD.

My piano students spend 20 minutes at the computer doing music theory games. I found this on Amazon for a song, less than the postage, and the kids have enjoyed it and a diversion from the harder stuff. Educational while serving to "cleanse the palate" for the next course of music theory!

I liked everything about this CD. Pavarotti may have been a prick, but his voice is superlative.

I play this in my car all the time. This album contains the best music of famous opera, and have been used in commercials. The best collections in one album. I just love it!

fun selection but not unique

A collection of greatest hits which is a good introduction to anyone new to opera but enjoyable for experienced opera lovers too. And it has the bonus of several track with the incomparable Pavarotti.

Ah! Ce Pavarotti.... Très satisfaite.

My primary school child does a lot of singing - mostly classical - and has been to a few operas. But neither of us enjoyed this cd, in fact I'm not sure we managed to listen to the end. It is very much a male singer's view of opera music children might like. I think that a lot more music sung by children or at least soprano voices would be more accessible, and solos more accessible than big choruses.
