In this new production by director James Brining and designer Colin Richmond, every scene is a visually engaging feast! The set is deceptively simple, with walls that shape-shift and move as the story progresses, creating a feeling of unsettlement and dreaminess. Projections (by Douglas O’Connell) throw some extra magic on proceedings and pull the audience a little more into the fantastical world in which this piece is set.

The Story Orchestra: The Magic Flute - by Katy Flint (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis
Discover the sorcery of The Magic Flute in this musical retelling of the opera--push the button on each beautiful scene to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing, and singers singing, from Mozart's score.
This classic opera, reworked for the benefit of younger readers, tells a tale of a prince, a princess and a magic flute, which begins in a mountain ridge between two magical lands. Prince Tamino enters, chased by a dragon, but three brave mountain rangers gallop past on horseback to rescue him.
His cowardly friend Papageno comes out from his hiding place and they revive the prince. The rangers ask for one favor in return. Their boss, the Queen of the Night, asks Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter, Princess Pamina, from the evil Sun King. She gives Tamino a magic flute and Papageno some magic bells to help them.
The story follows Prince Tamino as he breaks into the Sun King's palace, charms the court with his magic flute, and gets caught by the guards. Will the prince escape with the princess?
As you and your little one journey through the magical scenes, you will press the buttons to hear 10 excerpts from the opera's music. Readers should press firmly on the pages to activate the sounds, encouraging interactive learning and introducing children to this beautiful piece of music.
At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Mozart, with details about his composition of The Magic Flute. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms, and musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines musical terms.
The Story Orchestra series brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. With The Story Orchestra keyboard sound books, children can play the famous melodies themselves with the sound of a real grand piano.
Also available from the series: I Can Play (vol 1), Carnival of the Animals, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and Four Seasons in One Day.
Manufacturer's note: please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in exact location to work, which may be hard for young children. All sound clips are 10 seconds long.
The perfect primer to introduce children to classical music.

Reviews for "The Spanish Magic Tree House: A Haven for Curious Souls"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with "Magic Tree House in Spanish". I bought it hoping it would help me learn Spanish, but the book is poorly translated and not user-friendly for beginners. The vocabulary is too advanced and the grammar is confusing. I felt like I was reading a book in another language instead of trying to learn Spanish. I would not recommend this book for anyone looking to learn Spanish in an enjoyable and effective way.
2. John - 2 stars
As a native English speaker trying to learn Spanish, I found "Magic Tree House in Spanish" to be a frustrating experience. The book lacks clear explanations and examples, making it difficult for beginners to grasp the concepts. The plot is also quite predictable and the characters lack depth. Although it is marketed as a children's book, I believe it falls short of being engaging and educational for Spanish learners.
3. Emma - 2 stars
I have read many children's books in Spanish to improve my language skills, but "Magic Tree House in Spanish" did not meet my expectations. The language used is too simplistic, lacking the complexity that would challenge intermediate or advanced Spanish learners. In addition, the illustrations are not appealing and fail to capture the imagination. Overall, I found this book to be a missed opportunity for Spanish learners looking for an immersive and captivating reading experience.
4. Mike - 1 star
I did not enjoy "Magic Tree House in Spanish" as much as I anticipated. The book fails to engage readers with its uninteresting plot and flat characters. The translation feels forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the story. Moreover, the lack of cultural references undermines the learning experience. I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking an interactive and culturally enriching way to learn Spanish.
