This terrific, newly commissioned opera for children by Emma Jayakumar shows how far WA Opera has travelled in recent years under Artistic Director Chris van Tuinen.
Our Little Inventor is based on Sher Rill Ng's children's book. Emma Jayakumar explains how the two of them collaborated to create a new family work for West Australian Opera.
The program gave the combined orchestras of WASO and WAYO a unique opportunity to describe the sea in contemporary styles, as well as Britten's established depiction.
A concert to remember, for all the right reasons, with the young musicians performing above expectations.
