Maestro Antonio Planelles Gallego will conduct the Oldenburgisches Staatsorchester 18 performances of The Purple Palace at the Oldenburgisches Staatstheater, Oldenburg, Germany. There will be abstract art designed by Georgios Kolios to illustrate the story. Commissioned by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which premiered the work and toured it to Europe and Asia, The Purple Palace story is by Louise Gikow. It tells the story of Princess Purple who banishes all other colors from the land of Chromatica. Everything goes wrong and eventually all the colors flood back in to make it right.
