Die Zaubermelodika (The Magic Melodica) scores success
Die Zaubermelodika opera is fun for the whole family as the newspaper quotes prove.
"Iiro Rantala is a master at mixing genres: just as one is thinking of Mozart or Rossini, he switches to orientalism and adds elements of jazz, big band, Schlagers and (presumably) Finnish folk songs."
"Die Zaubermelodika got a jubilant reception in Berlin… Rantala’s music was unfailingly fresh and sure to hit its target with its lively rhythms and entertaining stylistic allusions. "
"The Komische Opera Berlin echoed to heartfelt shrieks of amusement as the premiere drew to an end. At no point did the audience’s interest flag, regardless of age, thanks to the smoothly-unfolding plot and quirky humour…Rantala’s score is rich... his enthusiasm is catching."
Performances at the Komische Oper Berlin continue until 13 February 2022
