Staged Concert after the book by Lyman Frank Baum
The fantastical story in which a girl from a farm in Kansas travels over the rainbow has been entertaining audiences for generations. A tornado sweeps Dorothy and her dog Toto into the magical land of Oz. To get back home, Dorothy has to find the Wizard of Oz. Together with a scarecrow, a tin man and a lion, she sets out once again in this new interpretation by Mathias Werner and Olivier Garofalo.Production and commission (composition, text) Philharmonie and Musikverein Wien
