Il piccolo spazzacamino | Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten’s The Little Sweep is a story about children, sung by children both in chorus and as soloists, and conceived for a young audience. The theme of childhood denied through exploitation by unscrupulous adults—so common in much English literature—is treated by Britten in a moving yet also playful way, never slipping into rhetoric
