Archived: Witch Hillary goes to the opera

The witch Hillary goes to the opera Peter Lund

Theater plays man, and play is a divine activity of our spirit. Opera sings love stories, and love is a spontaneous play in which free will reaches its intuitive minimum. Having love as law, we have imagination as a leader. With these words, director Lemo announced the premiere of a small opera play intended for the youngest, which describes opera as music coming from far corners of the universe to tell its magical stories.

Simple and fun content, wonderful music, acquiring new knowledge in a way interesting and acceptable to children, made the play The Witch Hillary Goes to Opera extremely popular, especially with the youngest audience. With lively playing and singing, in the lavish space of the theater foyer where the play is performed, the three performers bring a cheerful story about a witch who falls in love with opera, fully convinced that there is no greater magic in the world than opera. With very simple theatrical means, the play manages to conjure up a lavish world of opera and is the only repertoire play intended for the youngest who are yet to become opera lovers. After eight seasons of performances and almost a hundred performances in the theater and on guest appearances, Witch Hillary is going to Peter Lund's opera and will still be ready to welcome her new spectators. The play features Dora Lipovčan, Marija Kuhar Šoša and Kristijan Potočki.

The play was declared the best at the 11th best, best, best festival, and Dora Lipovčan won the award for best acting at the same festival.
