Flying Opera – From a Vision to Europe's Most Spectacular Open-Air Theater

The Flying Opera emerged from a grand vision of the scalaria Symphony – a unique interplay of historic aircraft from The Flying Bulls, orchestral music, and the backdrop of Lake Wolfgang. This film shows how it all began.

How it all began

What once began as a grand vision within the legendary scalaria Symphony evolved over the years into an extraordinary interplay of music, aviation, and emotion – the beginning of a grand dream that captivates people from all over the world and continues to live on today.

Flown by the legendary The Flying Bulls, the Flying Opera combines aerial precision, historic aircraft, and the power of music into a unique experience against the backdrop of Lake Wolfgang – one of Europe's most beautiful open-air theaters.

The Best of Aviation in One Film

The film shows how it all began over the years: the best of aviation and some of the most impressive formations and moments from past years, captured against the distinctive natural backdrop of Lake Wolfgang.

Living Legends Flying Opera – flown by The Flying Bulls, accompanied by the Big Island Orchestra under the direction of Martin Gellner.
