The
earliest and now obsolete
version of this piece
(first performed in
Heidelberg, 1949) was
scored for actors and
orchestra. This revised
version of 1964 has
recast the actors' parts
into roles for singers.In
addition, a scaled-down
orchestration was made to
suit performances in
small theatres. The Magic
Theatre is suitable as
one part of a triptych,
of which A Country Doctor
forms the centre and The
End of a World the third
part.The Magic Theatre
can still be performed
with actors: for a
production given at the
Schiller Theatre in
Berlin, on 30 September
1965 at the Berlin
Festwochen, Henning
Brauel made a version for
a small ensemble designed
to be performed in small
theatres. This version
ensures that the actors'
voices are not drowned
out by the instruments. -
Hans Werner Henze.
