Hey Kids Commuters! We're in our last full week before holiday break, so we're listening to an opera - for kids - for the holidays!
Composer Engelbert Humperdinck teamed up with his sister to put together a version of "Hansel and Gretel" for their family. It went so well they expanded it into a whole opera! We'll listen to the opera this week - in English!
We have a fairy tale themed Quizlet for you, too.
Tune in Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m., or listen any time at the links below.
Kids Commute returns to Classical IPR on Janurary 11, 2021. Have a delightful holiday break!
