Moving in three acts – A building site opera

Synopsis

Now shining with its sensational sound, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden had to wait a long time for its reopening. All in all, it took seven years to refurbish the opera – just a blink of an eye in the history of the house, but a long period of insecurity for the Staatsoper family, the people who work there. Film maker Anne Osterloh documented the works over the years, her film Moving in three acts – a building site opera follows the people involved in the emotional transformation process. The legendary house was much loved by star tenor, tailors, musicians and stage cleaners alike. For them, working at the opera, is much more than just a job: it’s a passion, a life, a home. A film about a construction site where hopes and desires meet and a moving tribute to the fine arts.
