The Water Babies is a new opera for adults and children, written by the contemporary Australian composer Freddie Hill. It combines genres of contemporary New Music, jazz and the occasional nod to Gilbert & Sullivan. The music is abstract and at times complex but also  can be wonderfully accessible with some very hummable melodies.
