MOZART’S MAGICAL CASTLE (2012)

Creator and Director
Casa Loma/Opera Atelier
December 2012

As part of their holiday programming, and in partnership with Opera AteIier, I created a month-long interactive installation bringing to life the story of Mozart’s Magic Flute throughout the castle. The project included live characters wandering throughout the rooms of the castle, an interactive scavenger hunt, daily performances and workshops in dance, drama, and music, a community art project, and Archie the dragon!
