A new Brontë Opera written by... children

According to this article Bernard Herrmann, Carlisle Floyd or Michael Berkeley are not alone being the composers of Brontë-related operas. Next March will be premiered at the Haworth Church a new musical piece about the Brontë family, called "One Mighty Voice" written and performed by children from Lees school, Haworth, Frizinghall and Margaret McMillan, in Bradford, and Myrtle Park, Bingley as an initiative of the Education Bradford's linking programme, which aims to develop relationships between schools of different cultural backgrounds.

Teachers and artists who are spearheading the project were allowed access to the small books that the Brontës produced as children, where they created their imaginary world.
