Accompanying five opera singers to five stations in the city by bicycle
Premiere
A production of the MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN
In the bicycle opera "R¡NGD!NG", the audience and five singers travel by bicycle to places in the city where fragments from operas by Mozart, Puccini, Wagner, Rossini and Strauss are sung unamplified into the urban space. On a web app, the libretto around stories from the bicycle can be listened to simultaneously from interviews with bicycle aficionados.
