This performance series is geared toward youngsters - and those who never grew up - who like music, but don't understand it, or who understand it, but don't like it, as well as those who both understand it and like it, but sense that a single melody conceals countless mysteries. It is also intended for those who wish to get a peek into how movement is created within and to music. The event will also appeal to those who spent their childhoods taking apart everything they could get their hands on or who loved Lego above all else and still like to sit down with smaller children to play. Anyone who doesn't think of continents when they hear the word "discovery”, or who has always felt drawn to the world of the theatre, or who never understood what is so great about all this ‘drama' will also feel at home! This is an old-fashioned, leisurely exploration of opera, of characters singing at length in joy and/or gratitude, and we promise that no melody, musical accompaniment, character or scene will remain undeconstructed and unrebuilt, "Opera Hoopla” style!
In this instalment of the Opera Hoopla series, conductor Dániel Dinyés and director Pál Göttinger "dissect”, analyse and reconstruct Mozart's comic opera right before the audience's eyes - and very likely to their great amazement as well. Joining forces with some of Hungary's finest singers, this outstanding creative pair will lead the audience deep into the work and the vocal performances on stage. This is no highlights production; instead they're shedding light on the interrelationships that might remain hidden to the attendees of a traditional opera performance. For example, there's nothing stopping them from repeating a given part and giving a leisurely peak into the connections between the musical fabric and the vocal parts, thus allowing a scene to be tried out in several different ways, both musically and dramatically.
