CHILDREN’S OPERA at the KRYPTA

The Christmas Witch
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Ensemble Oper@Tee

Libretto and arrangement: Alice Waginger

Recommended for ages 3 and up
Duration: 60 minutes

Vienna’s most successful Christmas fairy tale is back!

The touching story of the famous Christmas Witch Befana combines festive magic with strong educational value in an opera for children. All she really wants is to fly to the newborn baby Jesus to welcome him. But she is constantly called upon to help others. Will she still make it in time? A great delight for young and old alike!

Children are introduced to the world of classical music in a playful yet profound way. In a safe and intimate environment, they experience classical music and opera culture up close. Musical education, creativity, and the emotional intelligence of young audience members are encouraged through play.

Seats are assigned on site. Every young guest is guaranteed an unobstructed view. Before the performance begins, there is an entertaining introduction to the work especially for children.

The bright and welcoming KRYPTA is pleasantly temperate in every season.
