Does my kid need to understand German?

For the story, yes: it is narrated and acted in German. The music, costumes and acrobatics need no German.

Is there an intermission?

No. It runs about 50 minutes straight through, so a bathroom stop before the start is a good idea.

About

Timmy, a boy with a flute, goes to Vienna to learn what Mozart's Turkish March is about and meets the storyteller Scheherazade. Her storybook pulls them both into the Arabian Nights: a busy market, a contest of musicians, a conjurer, Sindbad the sailor and a grim palace guard. A chamber ensemble plays Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky, while an acrobat and actress plays out the story with flying carpets and swirling veils.
