Produces operas and gala concerts in small, intelligent ways at affordable prices .
Mostly no longer than 60 minutes
The concept comes from a long tradition of chamber opera and even possibly
the Florentine Camerata, the origin of all operas.
The concept is to reach a diverse public with interesting stories, presented and
told in the simplest, clearest way.
To inspire an audience, which otherwise be put off by the strict form of opera.
The founder of pocket opera San Francisco, Donald Pippin, once said:
"There are a lot of operas that if you were not familiar with
the story on the way to the theater, you are not much smarter on the way home."
This will not to happen to you at the Pocket Opera.
Here you will have the chance to fully understand the
story at the end of the evening. The operas are reduced to the essential parts;
in some cases dialogues, for the sake of clarity, are translated into
German.
A Pocket Opera is a theater with heart and soul. The productions are brought to
the stage without great extravaganzas, that is with minimal costumes,
without a lot of stage design, only with some props
(a bench, a door, a table, etc.), which are necessary to present the story intelligibly.
By presenting the operas through experienced professional singers,
a small musical ensemble and a conductor,
it is possible to present the essentials of an opera at a high musical level and
still be affordable to the audience.
The form of the Pocket Opera also allows young talented singers and music students
to make their first experiences in the world of professional opera performance.
Training young singers is a major part of the company's agenda.
The motivation to found the Pocket Opera is the unrestricted love and passion for
the most exciting form of music and storytelling: opera!https://www.pocket-opera-delon.de/
