The Magic Flute

is presented by an australian group in my hometown!
Co-opera ( http://co-opera.com.au/ )are off to make their first appearances in Europe. The opera management of the 'Hessisches Staatstheater in Wiesbaden' has invited Co-Opera to perform in the celebrated May Festival '09 and show to German audiences The Magic Flute production.

There was an article in the newspaper and so I called the hotline to get some last tickets - no problem. My mom was to come along - I need a driver!

The story is placed in a restaurant in the 60's. Prince Tamino would like getting Pamina to know. Some employees - among them Papageno, a clumsy chicken delivery boy, who knows everything about the chef cook Monostatos' mischief.

Like in the classical oper the figures in these variation are menlike and magical; the music is pure Mozart.

A simple scenery - only a scaffolding - is sufficient: the company achieves a maximum of theater with a minimum of equipment.

Special is - the Flute was given in english and parts of it in german as well - so my mum could understand as well...
The spectators were amazed, longtime applause and standing ovations at the end!!!
