In May 2000 BBC TV broadcast 'The Revolting Concert' as part of their UK-wide festival Music Live. The concert included excerpts from all of the commissions performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Peter Ash with a cast of celebrity narrators including Sophie Dahl, Timothy West, Simon Callow and Sian Phillips, as well as Danny DeVito and Joanna Lumley.

April 2003 saw the long-awaited premiere of Tarnopolski's Cinderella at the Barbican Hall in London. The London Schools Symphony Orchestra under Peter Ash was joined by more than 400 other young performers and six solo narrators. Our musical versions of Revolting Rhymes end as they began with a commission from Paul Patterson. The Three Little Pigs was premiered in Basel in 2004, by the Basel Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Howard Griffiths.

Tobias Picker's opera Fantastic Mr. Fox debuted in Los Angeles in December 1998. The story was the catalyst for a sophisticated, tuneful, witty and sometimes downright scary score from Picker which, as the Wall Street Journal described it, captured Dahl's spirit in a musical language that challenged, entertained and never pandered, skillfully balancing dark and light....with Picker's lyric gift and dramatic sense, the opera was a captivating and witty entertainment.

The Golden Ticket is an exciting opera based on Roald Dahls classic childrens story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The preliminary draft of The Golden Ticket was performed in concert by Manchester in 2001 after workshops at the Royal National Theatre in London. Following its concert premiere, the opera received a grant from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts to create a studio recording of highlights of the piece.
