520			_a"Great Opera Stories" by Millicent S. Bender is a collection of retellings of classic operatic tales derived from original sources in old German, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to introduce the enchanting narratives found within operas to a wider audience, particularly children, weaving stories of love, bravery, and magic. The tales include beloved works such as "Hansel and Gretel," "Lohengrin," and "The Master Singers," which showcase the trials and triumphs of their main characters. The opening portion of the book begins with the story of the "Children of Kings," focusing on a Goosegirl living with a wicked Witch in a remote forest. As she longs for a life filled with kindness and adventure, the Goosegirl encounters a youthful King's Son who initially dismisses her dreams. Despite her noble heart and beauty, she feels trapped by the Witch's oppressive hold. The narrative sets a stage of internal conflict, exploring themes of longing and identity as the Goosegirl yearns for freedom. This portion introduces readers to a captivating world where the struggles between good and evil unfold, laying the groundwork for the rich operatic tales to follow.
