With a booklet for children in G, En, Fr and an extra booklet in Arabian.

Opera Now March 2019

Doderer’s writing is confident and fluent, generally traditional, and she keeps the story moving along. Soprano Andrea Carroll, making a name for herself in Vienna, is a plucky and true-toned Fatima, Carlos Osuna her hapless brother, and Sorin Coliban enjoys himself as the baddie. Benjamin Bayl keeps orchestra and children’s chorus under good control, and the audience seems hugely enthusiastic.
