Komische Oper am Rhein

"Is that how everyone does it?" Opera in the Aquarium

An immersive opera experience based on Mozart and Da Ponte’s “Così fan tutte”.

The Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum is transformed into a stage for a captivating and immersive opera production. In this free interpretation of “Così fan tutte”, music and space merge into a haunting experience. But what happens when the magic of Mozart's melodies and Da Ponte's words meet the fascinating backdrop of the Aquazoo?

Oper im Aquarium

In this production you can expect a unique, intense experience that will bring you closer to the emotional depths of "Così fan tutte".

Our opera singers, actors, a choir and a pianist invite you to experience the story from a fresh perspective and move freely in the space. 

Mozart's life was riddled with tragedy, but his music celebrates the joy of life. 

“Così fan tutte” – in English: “That’s how everyone does it” – reflects this duality and deals with complex themes such as love and human vulnerability with humor and depth, while the impressive backdrop of the Aquazoo serves as the stage set.
