★ Small books in A6 format make you want to go to a BIG opera. Illustrated throughout and with little text, the content of the opera is understandable for everyone (BEGINNERS) on just 64 pages.

The content structure of each book is always identical:
• One page with a saying/aphorism suitable for the respective opera
• 2 double pages with short explanations about the composer, the origin of the opera, who wrote the content/libretto of the opera, the story is briefly outlined, chronological sequence short explanation
• Double page on which the characters of the opera are introduced.
• The last page is the same everywhere. It ends with a homage to the opera: clap, clap, shout bravo.

Elsa, the beautiful daughter of the late Duke of Brabant, is accused of murdering her brother. It's hard to believe, she seems so innocent and pure. But all the evidence speaks against her. There is even supposed to be an eyewitness. And Elsa? She says nothing and hardly defends herself. Her conviction seems almost certain...

Petra Sprenger lives and works in Dresden. In 2013, the idea for a book series that explains the libretto of an opera in a simple way was born. All titles in the series are published by OPERNMOUTH, an independent small publishing house based in Dresden. Petra Sprenger writes, illustrates and publishes the small, handy opera explainers, which make it easier for children and others to access classical opera.
