Will Todd introduces his 2013 family opera, commissioned by Opera Holland Park – with excerpts of the music and insights into the creative and collaborative process.
The Daily Telegraph, John Allison
“The most charming, least condescending opera for children I have seen. Todd’s instrumentation is skilful, too, allowing every word of Maggie Gottlieb’s clever libretto to be heard over the dozen-strong band in open-air acoustics.”
BBC Radio 3, Suzy Klein
“Beg, borrow or steal a ticket for Alice in Wonderland this summer – show is FANTASTIC, pure life-affirming joy.”
The Independent, Michael Church
“The show is such fun, and so well sung, that not even the youngest kids get bored… this is knock-out.”
Neil Fisher, The Times, Neil Fisher (on the Alice CD)
“You can admit to yourself, at home with a ‘drink me’ glass of merlot or two, that it’s not just toddlers who will enjoy Todd’s music”
