Il flauto magico

The interactive opera for children "Il flauto magico - Sconfiggere mostri" (produced by AsLiCo Opera domani...) scores more than 150 performances throughout all major Italian opera houses and theatres, including the Teatro Regio in Turin, the Teatro Comunale in Bologna, the Teatro Sociale in Como, the Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona, the Teatro Comunale in Bozen and many others. In this show, the young audience becomes part of the story by singing some arias together with the singers or performing little extracts. Essential feature of the project is the teacher training through a specific educational path that is organized in all the cities involved in the tour in the months preceding the show.
