Miss Streatfeild, with her good background knowledge of ballet and theatre, makes an excellent guide to the young opera-goer. Unfortunately, [Enjoying Opera] is so condensed that she has no chance to give more than the briefest information. To anyone of about 12 who is just beginning to be interested, this is a useful introduction, giving notes on the history and production of opera, brief biographies of composers and performers, and short accounts of some of the best-known stories. It was a happy thought to include modern operas which appeal to children, such as "The little sweep" and "Amahl and the night visitors."
