Over the next two evenings BBC2 is broadcasting simultaneously with Radio 3 the highly acclaimed
Glyndebourne productions of Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop!, two operas by OLIVER KNUSSEN based on the popular children's stories by MAURICE SENDAK.
This introduction to Sendak's work was filmed at his home in Connecticut and evokes his magical world of monsters, unruly infants and nightmares. Sendak talks about his obsession with King Kong and Mickey Mouse and his love of opera, for which he has provided designs not only of his own stories but also for The Love of Three Oranges and operas of Janacek and Mozart.
Directed by CHRISTOPHER SWANN

A fantasy opera in one act. BBCtv, Radio 3 and Glyndeboume present the first of two fantasy operas composed by OLIVER KNUSSEN with libretto and design by MAURICE SENDAK - based on his famous picture books.
In the first opera a young boy, Max, is playing and creating chaos. His mother, exasperated, sends him to bed without any supper. In his bedroom he conjures up a fantasy world of forest and sea and sails to the land of the Wild Things to rumpus all the night. At last, homesick, he returns 'through days and nights and even weeks and surely over a year' to his longed-for home.
