Play Opera
© 2015 DADA Company
Play Opera presents five love-themed opera fragments, illustrated by five renowned artists. It introduces children to the opera through the work of five great composers - Mozart, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi and Torroba - and is designed to encourage the development and education of musical tastes. The app combines music and art and each musical piece includes character profiles and a brief synopsis of the opera to which they belong. The pieces and illustrators include: Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, illustrated by Violeta Lópiz; Turandot (Nessun Dorma ) by Giacomo Puccini illustrated by Pablo Auladell; Gioachino Rossini Cenerentola illustrated by Marina Anaya; Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto illustrated by Mikel Casal; and Councilmen Choir of the Luisa Fernanda Operetta by Federico Moreno Torroba, illustrated by Ricardo Cavolo. The illustrations are beautiful and the side scrolling presentation is noteworthy, however the interactive design never goes beyond touch and see.
