Why Performing On The World’s Largest Lake Stage Is So Difficult

This summer, the largest lake stage in the world will host one of the most famous Italian operas: a production of Giacomo Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" with a very special stage design. Canadian stage designer Michael Levine has designed a gigantic painted sheet of paper with a warped surface that rises, almost weightless, above Lake Constance - a challenge especially for those who are to play and sing on it.
We accompanied one of the singers to find out how they get on.

Is there a video of A Masked Ball by Giuseppe Verdi? I've seen pictures of the stage. Looks super cool. Wanna watch it in video

If I'd known this was showing this year I'd have gone. I've been to the Bregenzer Festspiele before and loved it all. They were saying there was a Russian Opera this year (hell knows why, given the situation we're in globally) and decided not to go.

I am severely dissapointed in this stage choice. Compared to previous stages this is so anticlimactic. Hope next one is better .
