Tomanelli Inc Presents

A folk opera; a fairy tale for our times

Charles Kingsleys iconic work, The Water Babies, is a Folk Opera combining popular and classic musical
idioms from various eras. A handpicked orchestra of eleven seasoned professionals preserve the charm,
glory and terror of Kingsleys work.

The performance is delivered by a company of ten principal singers, including two talented young
performers who take on the pivotal roles of Tom and Ellie. The composer has freely adapted Kingsleys
vision in a way which opens up views on this well-loved fairy tale.

The Water Babies will resonate with those who are familiar with it from their childhoods, as well as those
who are new to the story.
