In der Oper

Little Paul goes to the opera with his grandfather to see Engelbert Humperdinck’s fairy-tale 'Hänsel and Gretel'. As he is absolutely fascinated by the performance, his grandfather, who used to work there as a stage designer, takes him to the opera again the following day to have a look at what's going on behind the scenes… This picture book shows the wide variety of activities at an opera house and how busy things are behind the scenes.Illustrated in four colours.Awarded the Deutscher Musikeditionspreis 1998.
