The Selfish Giant Emma Muir-Smith , Simon Bruckard (composer), 2019 single work musical theatre opera

'After a cantankerous Giant banishes children from playing in his garden, he experiences the chill of perpetual Winter. When children sneakily return, so does the beauty and joyfulness of Spring, teaching the Giant to open his heart generously in order to enjoy life’s riches.'
