Engagements at:

DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE - OPER IM STEINBRUCH

“I don't know how much of Papageno was the production concept and how much was Uwe Schenker Primus, and I don't really care. The result was wonderfully enjoyable and engaging. Schenker Primus managed to be full of personality and project his comic character on a large scale. He was a very human Papageno, not half-bird, half-man, but an ordinary man caught up in extraordinary events” - MORE
