Lot Essay
In the early 1980s, Sendak adapted his stories Where the Wild Things Are and Higgelty Piggelty Pop! into opera libretti with music by Oliver Knussen. The works premiered as a double bill at the 1985 Glyndebourne Festival. Sendak's beloved dog Jennie, the protagonist of Higgelty Piggelty Pop!, adorns the present artwork used in the production design.
