The ABC of Opera tells thrilling children's stories about composers from the past 500 years up to today, by meeting the composers themselves and hearing their stories in a remarkable new series of four magical tales, as never told before. Discover the thrilling story of opera with Jack, Megan and the time-travelling Trunk. A school trip takes Jack and Megan to the Natural History Museum, London, where they are reunited with their old friend Trunk.

Here they learn all about this momentous era in musical history from the creators themselves. Tasked with taking the music and stories of Windy Wolfie (Mozart, the penniless prodigy), Riotous Rossini (the king of the dining table) and the moody and resilient Bilious Beethoven back to the present, Jack and Megan soon find themselves caught up in the return of the Queen of the Night, Mozart's most evil creation. Who will win the day and can Jack and Megan keep their heads off the block? Join us on another unforgettable leg of this 500-year journey, told like never before.
