With the children's opera "The Thief Lord," the Zurich Opera House is staging a new performance: the former "Sternen" cinema in Zurich-Oerlikon will become the setting for a gripping musical theatre adventure. In Cornelia Funke's novel of the same name, an abandoned cinema also becomes the refuge of a gang of orphans led by Scipio. Brothers Prosper and Bo find shelter here from their aunt and the persistent detective Victor, who is hot on their trail. A mysterious mission puts everyone in danger. The libretto by Swiss playwright Andreas Sauter will be set to music by three composition students from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).

Lord of Thieves

Opernhaus Zürich

The most colorful guests mingle at the Klanghotel Opera – all just passing through, but each with their own quirks. Signore Rabbia, for example, travels with a large suitcase full of complaints and grumbles that his room is far too small. Signora Gelosia gets worked up about the fact that the other hotel guests have a much better view of the lake from their balconies. Signora Gioia, on the other hand, laughs so loudly it sounds like a joyful waterfall, while Signore Odio always wears a grim expression. But the true star of the hotel is Signora Graziamore, who enchants everyone with her radiant smile! Every day is a new spectacle full of demands and emotional outbursts! But our porter has a knack for ensuring that all emotions find their place in the Hall of Mirrors – and ultimately experience their happy day!
