Most of us have preconceptions (BORING, fat lady etc..) when it comes to opera .......but here they have given it a new edge.
Pavilion 21 MINI Space Opera, for the duration of a month is the temporary mobile venue for new reflexions and experimentations in musical theater. Designed by the architects of Coop Himmelb(l)au,not unknown to the urban scene, for they have designed other modern monuments in Munich. The pavillion is set up in the Marstallplatz, just behind the National Theater, home of the 'classic opera'. (actually I see know where they took their inspiration :-)
And opera doesn't have to be expensive, Oper für alle, is a festival of opera free for the public to watch at the Max-Joseph Platz, just in front of the National Theater. This year, stage was set up, and hundreds of fan come with blankets and set up picnics as they watch and listen to the live broadcast of Puccini's Tosca being played inside. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me, but let me tell you that a great calm realms over the atmosphere and makes it even more stunning.
