Concept, Words, Music, Design and Digital
Rockford’s Rock Opera is an award winning transmedia musical story available on the web, apps and in print / on CD.
Sweetapple created Rockford’s Rock Opera with BBC writer and comedian, Steve Punt. Via the web and mobile apps this thought-provoking ecological musical story has captivated millions of children and parents.
Writing in The Times, audiobook reviewer, Christina Hardyment said:
“Rockford’s Rock Opera is an amazing mix of story, songs and sound effects. It has a freshness that makes you smile as you listen and could become a cult favourite as beloved as Wallace and Gromit.”
Wired said;
“Sweetapple have done what many aspiring children’s music composers want to do: make music that truly appeals to all ages. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack for two weeks now (really) and the songs haven’t grown old.
“At the end of this musical adventure, it was clear that Rockford’s Rock Opera is more than the sum of its impressive parts. It manages to upgrade the basic children’s storybook to the 21st Century, without losing the magic.”
Acclaimed by teachers, educationalists and pupils, in the classroom, Rockford’s Rock Opera’s ecological story and lesson plans have reached more than 1,500,000 school children.
The Rockford’s Rock Opera website is full of information about the story and the facts behind the fiction. As a result, the project has been recommended by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
