Operas for Children are 7 original operas by Edward Barnes, created especially for young and family audiences. Called "hip-hop cool" by the Los Angeles Times and "engaging and emotionally forceful" by the San Francisco Chronicle, the operas blend traditional grand opera with contemporary American pop, rock and Broadway styles, exploring meaningful themes through bright and entertaining stories.
