This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
Higglety Pigglety Pop! is the second of Knussen’s two extraordinary fantasy operas created in collaboration with the acclaimed author Maurice Sendak. Composed between 1984-5 but finding its final form after a number of substantial revisions in 1999 the opera subtitled ‘There Must be More to Life’ is the story of a well-fed Sealyham terrier Jennie who escapes boredom to become prima donna of the Mother Goose World Theatre. Brimming with invention this hour-long work culminates in a witty opera-within-an-opera complete with a lopsided and slightly screwy overture after Mozart absurdly abrupt changes of tone and gear and numerousmadcap false endings!
