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!
Disguises, intrigues, confusion and amore - Rossini's opera is an unadulterated comedy, with a first act that includes no fewer than nine of opera literature's most popular passages. This laugh-a-minute masterpiece - distinguished by constant "explosions” of music and an inexorably advancing plot whose jumbled threads only come together in the final moments - is now being staged by the familiar partnership of conductor/composer Dániel Dinyés and director Pál Göttinger. In their take on it, the audience will be more than a passive - albeit well-entertained - observer of the events: by giving them a glimpse into the creative process, they'll get to play a part in the work's creation while learning backstage secrets. In this studio work, the creative pair and a cast of wonderful singers will hold a "blocking” rehearsal of an imaginary production, starting with an analysis of the music and storytelling and then moving on to the singers' first steps on the stage.
