Discover SALTICE a captivating children’s opera by Ruben Zahra that brings you the magic of paper art to life through stunning origami costumes and set designs.

Written by Susanne Felicitas Wolf, this enchanting story follows the adventure of Katharina and her brother Martin as they journey through the salt mines and ice caves of the alpine mountains. The fairy-tale world is brought to life with intricate pop-up paper sculptures that are revealed on stage and projected as a magical backdrop.

This imaginative and visually stunning opera promises a truly memorable experience for young audiences.

The contemporary look of the performance is matched by dynamic choreography and a unique score featuring a children’s choir, piano, and electronic soundtrack. Produced by the Bad Ischl Salzkammergut European Capital of Culture, SALTICE premiered in Laakirchen, Austria in February 2024.

Skopri SALTICE, opra għat-tfal ta’ Ruben Zahra li tagħtik il-ħajja lill-maġija tal-arti tal-karti permezz ta’ kostumi tal-origami u disinji tas-sett.

Miktuba minn Susanne Felicitas Wolf, din l-istorja ssegwi l-avventura ta’ Katharina u ħuha Martin waqt li jivvjaġġaw mill-minjieri tal-melħ u l-għerien tas-silġ tal-muntanji alpini. Id-dinja tal-fairy-tale tingħata ħajja bi skulturi kkomplikati tal-karti pop-up li jiġu żvelati fuq il-palk u pproġettati bħala sfond maġiku.

Din l-opra immaġinattiva u viżwalment stupenda twiegħed esperjenza tassew memorabbli għall-udjenzi żgħażagħ.

Id-dehra kontemporanja tal-prestazzjoni hija mqabbla minn koreografija dinamika u punteġġ uniku li jinkludi kor tat-tfal, pjanu, u soundtrack elettroniku. Prodott mill-Kapitali Ewropea tal-Kultura ta’ Bad Ischl Salzkammergut, SALTICE dehret l-ewwel darba f’Laakirchen, l-Awstrija fi Frar 2024.
