Andreas Wolf

Staatskapelle Halle

Andreas Beinhauer takes on the role of the witty bird seller, who guides the audience through Mozart's most famous opera in this version. In Foyer 2 of the opera house, the children are right in the thick of the action and are drawn into the performance by Papageno – whether as a tree or a snake, forest animals, or Papagena and Papageno's children. It's a vibrant and colorful spectacle, musically superb. A wonderful opportunity for preschool children to experience musical theatre for the first time.

Only his encounter with a young woman who cares for him gives him renewed courage and a will to live. Together with his new love, Adam makes a fresh start.
