„Pasta Diva - Preludio alla Norma" - Siegerprojekt Köster-Preis 2025

In the organizer's words:

"Preludio alla Norma" - music theater that makes sounds tangible

World premiere of the winning project of the Köster Prize 2025

"SONDER ensemble" in cooperation with the chamber ensemble "Konsonanz"

This will be followed by the festive award ceremony.

An international jury selected this music theater project from numerous submissions as the particularly innovative winner - and now it will be performed for the first time. Surprise and excitement guaranteed!

In "Preludio alla Norma", cooking becomes music, everyday life becomes a production, and the preparation of a dish is transformed into a living work of art.

Three spectators follow the instructions of an unusual recipe generator, while four musicians and an actress create a fascinating world of sound. The rhythmic chopping of vegetables, the gentle bubbling of water and the beguiling aroma of spices interweave with the sounds of violin, flute, accordion and percussion - a symphony of the senses is created.

The work, created by Lorenzo Romano and Matias Mucchi Alonso, explores the boundaries between reality and illusion. Theater, music and culinary delights merge into a unique, three-dimensional composition of smells, sounds and movement - a story that can be heard, seen and perhaps... can be tasted.

"Preludio alla Norma", a production by "SONDER ensemble" in collaboration with chamber ensemble "Konsonanz", invites the audience to indulge in this game of sound, gesture and taste.
