Tour Through New Music Theatre at the Vienna as a Theatre Experience for Children

The music theater is back at the Wien: On January 18th, after a long renovation, the first scenic production took place on the stage of the freshly renovated opera house. Now, since Tuesday, "Bravissimo!" offers a theater experience at the new, old location for young and old. If the old have remained very young at heart and are still mobile on foot. Because it involves a tour d'Horizon up and down the stairs through the freshly spruced-up temple of the muses.

"Bravissimo!" Leads Up and Down the Stairs Through the Musiktheater an der Wien

It is a journey into the bowels of the house, into its otherwise closed areas, behind and on the stage - and not least into the past of the traditional building. As a travel companion, the more or less young audience is accompanied by usher Emmanuel (Jakob Pinter), who - as theater fever is rampant - repeatedly transforms into impresario Schikaneder.

He leads the opera-enthusiastic guests into the auditorium, into the cabaret "Die Hölle" or directly onto the stage of the magnificent building. Along the way, soprano Verena Tranker and tenor Ilyà Dovnar perform a medley from Händel, "Fledermaus", Mozart, or the VBW musicals. And even at an audition, "Bravissimo!" visitors can eavesdrop - thanks to an invisibility ritual celebrated in advance.

New Children's Play by Successful Duo Stanek and Brand

The Musiktheater an der Wien showcases with the production designed by director Sebastian Kranner what it now has, having engaged a duo already successful in Graz for the tour. Florian Stanek is responsible for the text, Sebastian Brand composed the music, with the two theater makers having already activated play children in the Styrian capital with "Das Neinhorn". Now it is up to the young opera fans in Vienna to get an impression of what might be their future regular house.
