"Mozart's music 'invites' in a rather singular way. At times, it is like being given the keys to a secret garden, where you are invited to 'find' treasures. Whoever ventures into this garden finds objects which are specific to the person themselves.
When we immerse ourselves in his music, revealed is a world of theatre: a visual world. Colours shift, characters appear, shapes form. A lanterna magica." - Chiyan Wong
