Imagine what it would be like if we could change the world. Imagine a fun future with clean oceans and lovely blue skies, a world of justice for all, where it’s ok to travel and meet people from other countries. In our innovative KARAOPER we want to dream along with the kids.

KARAOPER is an operatic film that generates its own direction in gradual steps using the karaoke process, through the medium of singing and speaking. A motley community of kids progressing in jolly fashion to the next level, so harmonious and supportive of one another that a happy end is the only possible outcome. A modern fairytale, narrated in song by and for children, which won’t change the world but which illuminates the issues of our age and uses music to explore them in a simple, creative and playful way.

Following THE MAKING OF BLONDE, this is Chez Company’s second project at the Deutsche Oper Berlin: KARAOPER is a collaboration between the artistic directors of Chez Company – Gesine Danckwart, Fabian Kühlein and Sabrina Zwach –, composers Thomas Kürstner and Sebastian Vogel, set designer Julia Hansen, members of the Deutsche Oper Berlin choruses and many children.
