Where the Wild Things Are & Higglety Pigglety Pop! - Knussen / Maurice Sendak / Glyndebourne

This delightful fantasy opera was created by Maurice Sendak from his book of the same title in collaboration with composer Oliver Knussen.

Sendak's sets and costumes bring to life the huge and terrible, yet also lovable, monsters that Max, the child, conjures up in his bedroom. In his fantasy world of forest and sea, he sails to the Land of The Wild Things.

I saw both of these as a kid and YES, they did freak me the hell out and give me nightmares at the time. Wait, who am I kidding? This still makes me want to crap myself.

This is wack.

Out of interest you might want to check out this facebook 'page' ...  "Rosemary Hardy Soprano/Actor". She not only saw the opera she was MAX. (Rosemary played in The original opera at Glyndbourne). Hope you like it.

The Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Classics recording is dope. Deliciously atonal! Peace.

I love you so much for posting this...I've been trying to find even a short clip to show people what I've been talking about...I don't know anyone else who has seen this opera, which is a shame.
