The Wizard of Oz at Oper Leipzig
About the Event
On a farm in Kansas lives a little girl named Dorothee with her aunt Em and her uncle Henry. One day, a hurricane carries his little house over the rainbow to a distant land, full of fantastic beings. On landing, he kills an evil witch. But as much as it sounds like a fairy tale, Dorothee's nostalgia overwhelms her, and the desire to return home seems irresolvable.
Only the Great Wizard of Oz can help her get home. So he embarks on a long and dangerous journey. Along the way, Dorothee meets three strange creatures: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, each of whom also wants to ask the Wizard for something. Together, they face danger and many adventures!
