Het album 'Orchestra Of The Royal Opera House - Humperdinck: Fairytale Operas' werd uitgebracht in 2009 en bevat vijf dvd’s met uitvoeringen van sprookjesopera’s van componist Engelbert Humperdinck. De belangrijkste klassieke muziekstroming die hier wordt vertegenwoordigd is de laat-romantiek, een periode waarin rijke orkestratie, melodische overvloed en sprookjesachtige thematiek centraal staan.
De uitvoeringen op deze verzameling zijn verzorgd door het Orchestra of the Royal Opera House onder leiding van dirigent Colin Davis. Vocale solisten als Angelika Kirchschlager, Diana Damrau, Elizabeth Connell, Thomas Allen en Anja Silja brengen de personages levendig tot leven, ondersteund door de Tiffin Boys’ Choir en het Children’s Chorus. Dit album combineert muzikale verbeeldingskracht met theatrale flair, waardoor Humperdincks sprookjesachtige werken optimaal tot hun recht komen in de beroemde Covent Garden.
Deze verzameling kenmerkt zich door een warme, gedetailleerde benadering van het romantisch operalandschap, waarin fantasie, kinderlijke onschuld en rijke orkestrale klanken samenkomen. Het album is een uitmuntende illustratie van Humperdincks vakmanschap binnen de laat-romantische opera en toont de hoge uitvoeringskwaliteit van het Royal Opera House.
