A picture book for the whole family, published to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Frankfurt Papageno Music Theater. It tells the story of little Papageno, who wants to know where imagination resides. So, together with his feathered friend Lauretta, he sets out on a quest through the city of Frankfurt am Main. Along the way, the two encounter over fifty characters who have played a role in the theater's eventful history. The Snow Queen waves from the balcony of the Alte Oper, the Bremen Town Musicians have set up in front of the Römer, and Turandot meets them in the Chinese Garden. A lovingly designed homage to the Papageno Music Theater at Palmengarten. Hans-Dieter Maienschein founded the Papageno Music Theater in 1997. Since then, he has directed nearly a hundred productions, in which he almost always participated as an actor on stage. This anniversary edition also includes "Papageno's Fairy Tale Treasure (23 Songs and Melodies from the Home of Imagination)," a CD featuring the most beautiful songs and melodies from 25 years, as well as the DVD theater portrait "Where Dreams Live," produced by Screen Land Film.
