The Deutsche Oper Berlin presents, in the Großes Haus, Jonathan Dove's opera after Jules Verne's novel, made for children and the young at heart. Bookish Max is so absorbed in the novel that its characters come to life and he becomes part of the story: as Passepartout he serves the eccentric Phileas Fogg on his race around the world in 80 days. Detective Fix is after them, believing Fogg to be a bank robber, and Aouda helps them along the way. The journey takes in Egypt, India, Hong Kong and America.
Peter Lund wrote the libretto and directs. It is sung in German with German and English surtitles, recommended from age 7. The performance runs about two hours with one interval after roughly 55 minutes.
