Did you ever imagine – in your wildest fantasy – that one day you would find yourself dancing with the most scary forest creatures? We’re talking about FANTASIA! Let your fantasy flourish when you take part in the walking theatre performance and experience new images in the lovely nature at Midtåsen. The painter Claude Måne leads you on a tour that starts at the nice viewpoint in front of the villa – where he began painting the full moon over the fiord last year – leads you via The old castle and The chickens in the courtyard, introduce you to The girl with the flaxen hair on our way to the green Monet-bridge and the waterlilies in the pond. With a kind of horror-mixed joy you should really look forward to meeting Baba Yaga – and the dance of the witches!
It is quite frightening to see Prince Tamino coming running breathless through the forest at Midtåsen – followed by an evil fire-breathing dragon. Fortunately, he meets Papageno – a nice and lively fellow – whose job is to catch birds for The Queen of the Night. He helps Tamino to find a girlfriend – a Princess – but would really like to find a nice girl for himself as well… The Magic Flute that Tamino gets as a gift, helps him through all kinds of dangerous situations – and a glockenspiel makes Papageno able to get rid of the most vicious creatures.
Ten professional singers perform the musical fairy-tale together with The Three Boys, Pap-Pap-children, a flautist and a pianist……and the fire-breathing dragon!
