Gate 147

Description

We have selected the most beautiful choirs and arranged them into a fantastic story... Gate 147 at the airport of a lost place, somewhere in the world. A group of women is waiting for the boarding of their flight, which is supposed to take them home. But in vain: the plane is defective, and the equipment of the airport hall leaves much to be desired. The women have no choice but to adapt. They tell each other stories from their lives, prepare for an uncomfortable night, during which they are haunted by dreams and nightmares. Whether the morning will bring the longed-for homecoming is not yet to be revealed. We show what is inside us besides traditional choral singing! The singers act as desperate passengers, love-struck flower girls, pious nuns, and spiteful witches. P R O G R A M (SELECTION): Barcarole from: "Hoffmann's Tales", Jacques Offenbach Gypsy Choir from: "La Traviata", Giuseppe Verdi Prayer from: "Il Trovatore", Giuseppe Verdi Witch scenes from: "Lady Macbeth", Giuseppe Verdi Evening song from: "Hänsel and Gretel", Engelbert Humperdinck, Flower Girl Chorus from: "Parsifal", Richard Wagner Girl Chorus from: "The Flying Dutchman", Richard Wagner Nun Chorus from: "Le dialogue des carmelites", Francis Poulenc "Chansons and Couplets" from: "Carmen", Georges Bizet etc. And Roger Widmer is not only responsible for conducting this time, but also for concept and direction.
