Most children of her age would not be able to sit through an opera. But at just the age of seven, Alma Deutscher has already composed（写作）her own.

　　Alma wrote her own sonata （奏鸣曲）at the age of six, and she composed her first opera, The Sweeper of Dreams, this year. The English National Opera (英国国家歌剧院) thought it was great work!

　　Alma said: “The music comes to me when I’m relaxing. I like thinking about fairies a lot, and princesses, and beautiful dresses.” She likes to sit on the swing（秋千） in the garden and compose. According to this talented young musician, the idea for The Sweeper of Dreams came in a dream.
