Magic Butterfly sees two classic operas reimagined by Welsh National Opera
Presented inside the unlikely setting of a shipping container at locations across the country, visitors don headsets which use the Google Daydream technology to present Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Puccini’s Madam Butterfly in animated form.
Thought to be the first production of its kind, WNO commissioned REWIND, an award-winning VR production agency who have worked with Icelandic singing star Bjork, to work with them on Magic Butterfly.
Visitors are invited into the shipping container in groups of four in turn to experience each of the performances – lasting eight minutes in total – while being given simple directions to control the experience.
