ARGE Oper im Durchbruchstal
Regina – ein Fest! (Regina—A Celebration!)
Partizipative und inklusive Schlossoper für Profis und Laien, Ein- und Ausheimische, Chor und Blasmusik (A Participatory and Inclusive Opera in the Castle for Professional and Amateur, Local and Outside Performers, Choir, and Brass Instruments)
Opera
Regerl, the imprisoned damsel of a Mürztal saga, becomes the Queen of Diversity. Regina travels through different ages and societies, observing from different perspectives her own story as well as the associated violence, patriarchal structures, and traditional models that have been passed down with it and which hold her—and all of us—prisoner. This participatory and inclusive opera consists of seven stations (or disruptions) that the mobile audience must overcome to save the world. Regina is made up of singing, speaking, music, and celebration. Actors, singers, a band, children’s choirs, and a brass ensemble narrate and entertain, play music and celebrate, question and look not backward, but toward us—toward the present day and forward: the castle opera is a shared celebration of diversity and utopia.
