| I adapted the opera from the Ernst Schikaneder libretto used by Mozart and brought in influences from Ingmar Bergmann’s famed film version. The young actors were introduced to opera, Mozart and a fun story all about young people undergoing trials that reveal their virtue. It is a witty comedy wise-cracking teens and smaller actors will have fun acting and involves real-time budding romance between an actress and the stage manager. Available for production. | ![]() |
