Opera in the Frame

Entering the world of opera is like going through a portal to a different dimension. It could be likened to discovering Narnia behind an old wardrobe. The opera house is like that wardrobe. It is old – boasting over 400 years of history. The stories told from the stage have always been accompanied by magnificent set designs. Opera would open secret passages to the worlds of mythological deities, the kingdoms of exotic rulers and fairy tale lands inhabited by fantastic creatures. Mozart’s The Magic Flute will be our gateway to the world of opera. We will watch it on a movie screen; we will see it as if we were standing on stage, right next to the singers. Along with brave Prince Tamino and his cowardly sidekick, Papageno, we will set forth to conquer that mysterious world. We will also discover how many people have to work together in order to bring opera’s fantastic images to life for its audience.
