Space Opera
“Space Opera” is a virtual interplanetary journey realized with CG spherical rendering technology and presented in a 360° hemispherical view, applying the famous orchestral suite “The Planets” by Gustav Holst.
The discovery of a flying disc beneath the earth allows passengers to take off from Earth and visit the entire solar system. The theater recreates the interior of an alien spaceship where a voice guides the journey and provides information on each stop. Space Opera is therefore an artistic, philosophic, scientific and cinematic experience all at the same time and indeed a unique experience of its kind.”
