Trailer «Amerika»
An immersive music experience
«Amerika» is an opera beyond five staff lines and five acts. 66 loudspeakers, a live orchestra and three additional recorded ones, spoken chants, breakdancers, a phenomenal stage set, in short – a truly unique surround experience is being created. But how is such an immersive music experience written down, rehearsed and performed?
