Urania Varieté - Solavento

What could be better for a budding opera singer than studying in Rome and enjoying life in the Eternal City to the full! She is sitting in a street café, the Solavento, enjoying her cappuccino, humming an aria - and doesn't yet know that the barista is a magician who enchants his guests and takes them on a journey through a dream world ...

SOLAVENTO IS OPERA AND OPULENCE, MUSIC AND MAGIC, CIRCUS AND ENCHANTMENT.

With her new program,director Bettina Montazem creates an intoxicating dream world that enchants the audience and transports them to a beautiful, different world. Her creative vision and flair for detail allow the individual art forms to flow seamlessly into one another, creating a harmonious overall experience that leaves the audience in awe.

Solavento is surprising, overwhelming, funny, poetic, sensual. A great evening in a small, charming theater. You will become part of a poetic story with live and unplugged opera singers in elaborate historical costumes, breathtaking aerial acrobatics on the trapeze and on the cloth, astonishing magic and romantic shadow puppetry .
