The stage

I was intrigued by the stage, it seemed to slope upwards to the back at an odd – almost ridiculously steep – angle. I wondered how the performers would be able to move around the stage, but Sara! pointed out that it broken up into smaller steps and, thus, make it easier to maneuver.

I’d never seen The Magic Flute before, nor was I familiar with the story. I wasn’t expecting there to be asides in English, but there were. After the shock of that wore off, I sat back and enjoyed the show. It was fun. The leads were quite well-suited to their roles. The costumes were also good. If you have an opportunity to see it, I highly suggest it.
