Opera GO
Opera GO is an operatic scavenger-hunt which takes the audience on a journey through Luxembourg City to playfully discover the diversity of opera through Augmented Reality.
This quirky, playful, walkabout experience mixing live performance and Augmented Reality starts off as a joyful celebration of creativity with live music loosely based on Ambroise Thomas’ Le songe d’une nuit d’été and Mozart’s Zauberflöte at De Gudde Wëllen.
Shakespeare’s bon-vivant Falstaff is celebrating creativity and the arts at his favorite local bar. As the party is in full swing, Mozart’s Queen of the Night appears, shocked to find that her dear darling operas have literally flown out the window. She relies on the audience’s bravery to go on a quest through the city to get her beloved operas back.
