highly recommended

The only thing I didn't like about it was. . .

that there wasn't more of it. Someone should do a sequel; there are so many wonderful arias and choruses that could be treated.

Here in the US we think of animation as being primarily for children, but in Europe and Japan this is not so. Hence, I would warn parents that this is NOT kid stuff; it isn't [...], far from it, but opera deals with some rather heavy themes, and these selections do not shy away from them.

Each selection is animated by a different artist in a very different style; some I liked better than the others, but all were interesting.

Continuing source of great pleasure

We received this as a gift years ago and we've played it innumerable times to the delight of our now 8 year old granddaughter who has viewed it since she was 2. It is so creative, perhaps the most imaginative approach to opera for persons of all ages.There are some scenes of violent acts (murder and suicide)which are managed in a reasonably sensitive way. Even so, children over the age of 5-6 will recognize what has occured.

innovative introduction to opera

I bought this years ago for nieces and nephews who loved it. Rebought it recently when my grandson was 9 months old. Now, at 15 months, when he stays with us, it's the on;y thing he wants to see(over and over). He now hums and dances to the music and jabbers at the screen. I wish there was a sequel! This is such an incredible, painless and pleasurable way to introduce children(and adults) to the incredible world of opera

Humanimation

While probably geared towards a more mature younger audience there's no reason that a small child couldn't enjoy this as well. Although there is implied violence and nudity in parts of the animation it is tastefully done and actually quite compelling and artistic. Imagine that! The scenes are beautiful, emotional and riveting and seem more like watching a series of watercolor paintings in progress than a "cartoon" with opera music.

WONDERFUL!

We wore out this vhs tape looooong ago. WHEN will it be on DVD? Amazon would sell a ton.
