A game in the schoolyard. Max does not stand a chance against Kilian and is excluded from his team. But how is Max going to see Agathe now, whom he fell in love with. Later that day, Kaspar, a boy from his group, waits for him and promises him a magical cure that will help him achieve everything he wants. Although Agathe and her friend warn Max against it, he meets Kaspar at night and agrees to try the magic potion. It is supposed to help him during the important game the next day.
Using Carl Maria von Weber’s emotional music, director Kai Anne Schuhmacher tells a modern version of the story. She invites the young audience to participate in individual songs, which they can prepare with their classmates at school before they visit the performance. The impressive atmosphere of the Festspielhaus Bregenz provides the perfect setting for children aged 8 or older to be introduced into the fascinating world of opera.
In cooperation with the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Superar Vorarlberg and the Musikschule Bregenz
