ABOUT THE production

Fairytale meets jazz, ragtime, and waltz in Ravel's whimsical fantasy L’Enfant et Les Sortilèges (The Child and Enchantments). Experience this masterpiece as it has never been seen before within the world of Minecraft with a mesmerizing motion graphics set by multimedia artist Alexandra Posen and Minecraft architects Kupo and VoxelBox.

With a witty text by French writer Colette, the opera tells a story about a restless young boy and the lesson he learns from animals and household objects that magically come to life. This miniature opera is paired with Debussy's hauntingly beautiful cantata L'Enfant Prodigue (The Prodigal Son).

Renowned actor and opera singer Anthony Laciura, who recently starred in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, directs alongside the rising-star Italian conductor Sesto Quatrini.
