The production was inspired by illusionism, a literally magic genre. We returned to the period around 1900, when life was brightened by sparkling variety shows as well as a fascination for what could lie beyond the boundary between life and death. The performance was co-produced with the New European Ensemble, De Dutch Don't Dance Division and the Royal Theatre of The Hague.

In the opera, we follow the elusive illusionist Dr. Miracle. In his travelling theatre he enthrals the audience with seemingly airy variety acts. He challenges gravity and other laws of nature. During one of the shows his assistant loses her life as a result of a tragic accident. Dr. Miracle gets intoxicated with the beauty of her transition to the eternal light. He is overcome by an overwhelming desire to relive this experience. In his quest he continually changes his appearance and gets mixed up with a mysterious world filled with sleep-walkers, lunatics and lost souls. Are we looking at light illusions? Or are we watching a detailed account of a series of ghastly murders?
Dr. Miracle's Last Illusion was both a flamboyant and melancholic performance: full of suspense, but not lacking in humour or horror. The story was brought to life with enchanting scenes from operas and ballets by Bellini, Offenbach, Verdi, Wagner and Stravinsky. The show also pays tribute to the magic genres of opera and dance with their many often insane heroines. These muses - and victims - of Dr. Miracle are sung by the three vocal top-talents Martina Prins, Kristina Bitenc and Lucie Chartin and danced by Violet Broersma from De Dutch Don't Dance Division. Woedy Woet, multiple Dutch champion magician, plays the part of Dr. Miracle. Concept and production originate from OPERA2DAY's artistic leader Serge van Veggel.
