Repertoire

“Die Zeitreisemaschine” (The Time Machine) is a family opera in the truest sense of the word: siblings Felix and Frida travel to Paris to visit Gioachino Rossini in the time machine invented by their father. After all, their grandfather had always raved about how everything used to be better in the old days. But the famous composer is always in bed, constantly eating, and has given up composing!
Rossini's servant Figaro and his wife and muse Isabella remind the two children of their parents, just as Rossini himself strangely reminds them of their grandfather ... Felix and Frida increasingly long to travel back to the present day, which they finally manage to do with Figaro's help.
Children's choir, symphony orchestra, and electronic music combine to take listeners on a journey through music history.

In cooperation with SWR Experimentalstudio and the Bregenz Festival.
