Laterna Magika Brings Live Film Art to Carnegie Hall
An innovative blend of live performance and motion pictures, Laterna Magika premiered in Prague and later toured major cities. Featuring three acts inspired by Offenbach and a final set of stage screen variations, the show uses moving screens, color and black and white film, live and recorded music, and numerous visual tricks to dazzle audiences. The production requires complex stage machinery and can only play in large cities, with DuPont Pavilion at the New York World's Fair offering a notable adaptation of the concept.
