The event
«Space Opera» is an interplanetary voyage with a 360-degree view, built entirely on the notes of Gustav Holst's suite «Op. 32: The Planets». The story begins with the discovery of a flying saucer underground: viewers become passengers on an alien spaceship, lift off from Earth and visit the whole solar system, playing with the concepts of space and time.
The audience is guided by the voice of Ottavia Piccolo. The show was presented in 2010 at the Planetarium of the Library of Alexandria in Egypt; it is the first and only Italian production in this format and has been translated into seven languages.
