INITIAL SITUATION
On September 23, Staatsoper Hamburg opened the season 2016/2017 showing the "Magic Flute" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. With the modern version of the opera, the house at Jungfernstieg brings the opera closer to a young audience.
REACTION PHASE
With my company EINS[23] we recorded around 30,000 LEDs distributed over eight stage curtains. The LEDs served not only as a background and stage set to illuminate the scenery, but were also integrated into the play with which the actors interacted.

VISUALIZATION VS. REAL PICTURE
In order to get a feeling for form, color and spatial shifting of the contents on the LED curtains and to master the close timing, we developed the contents using various visualizations.
