An opera diva as a museum supervisor - that could be fun! Mrs von Trällershausen dreams of the big stage, but instead of applause, all she gets is dust and strict rules. But whenever the diva secretly puts on her headphones, the museum is transformed into a sounding dream world. Inspired by Modest Mussorgsky's famous work "Pictures at an Exhibition", the paintings become living soundscapes. But suddenly something is wrong: paintings are hanging askew, frames are out of place and mysterious things are happening in the halls. Spooky or pure fantasy? A detective story begins. And then children come into the picture - curious, lively and full of ideas. The diva is horrified! But she has to realise that the children are her salvation. Because only together can the mystery of the wandering pictures be solved. A captivating family concert awaits you with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, a children's choir and lots of interactive magic. Singing, clapping and marvelling, you will become part of the music yourself.

From 8 years, High German
The concert lasts approx. 1 hour
