Kiez Oper: Late Night Händel

DOORS: 21.30

SHOW: 22.30

AFTERPARTY FROM MIDNIGHT

Kiez Oper is BACK with a four night run 27/28/29/30 June of fully-staged, immersive performances. We present Händels rarely performed Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (The Triumph of Time & Truth).

In contemporary Berlin, a city of constant flux, the timeless themes of coming to terms with ones true self whilst facing the inevitability of change and the ravages of time seem more relevant than ever.
We follow the journey of Bellezza (Beauty) down the rabbit hole on an adventure of discovery through surreal worlds, in which she encounters curious characters manifesting as allegorical concepts.
Pleasure, Time and Disenchantment all attempt to charm and corrupt Beauty on her journey

'Time is cruel only to those who believe in him

An afterparty with music and drinks will occur after the shows which we encourage you to stay for.
