Synopsis

Sissi watches as her brother Max climbs out of the window and onto the roof, balancing on the ridge and marching straight up to the moon on a moonbeam. Is Max sleepwalking, or is he moonstruck? In the light of the full moon, everything seems a little different. Sissi grabs her phone and their cat Rebecca and follows Max on his trip to the moon. The siblings have a thrilling adventure, discovering “flowering landscapes” on the moon and meeting all kinds of moon creatures.

Young soloists, professional artists and the Children’s Choir of the Salzburg Festival and the Salzburg State Theatre join forces to stage a buoyant musical with moonstruck melodies.
