Die Zaubermelodika Rantala

Thanks to Barrie Kosky and Komische Oper Berlin, Finnish writer Minna Lindgren (of Lavender Ladies Detective Agency fame) and classical - jazz sensation, pianist and composer IIRO RANTALA have written THE MAGIC MELODICA, an uproariously cheeky comedy, where our favourite characters have aged - some of them disgracefully! Sarastro is showing signs of dementia, Papageno and Papagena have been blessed with a horde of offspring that make up the Papa Kids choir. Three gnomes represent the three little boys. The Queen of the Night is past her soprano prime and can’t quite fire off her staccatos in the way she used to. She is now a baritone able to soar to countertenor heights.
