I found myself actively listening to the singer to hear and understand the words, searching for clues to the puzzles.

​When the opera was combined with the interactive, sensory elements of the performance, I really found myself engaged on a whole other level.

​I really had understood the story. I have to say the whole experience has made me feel so much less intimidated by attending an opera.
