General Information

Description

New production of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence
In coproduction with De Nederlandse Opera and English National Opera

It is the story of Tamino, a young foreign prince, who, at the urging of the Queen of the Night, braves Sarastro’s kingdom and undergoes terrible ordeals for the love of Pamina. It is also the story of Papageno, the comic bird-catcher who longs only to eat, drink – and find his Papagena! The Magic Flute, Mozart’s last opera, is also his most extraordinary, with its mixture of genres and styles, ranging from fantastic tale to philosophical fable, from Viennese comedy to grand opera. Mozart’s last masterpiece is the key work for any event with a Mozartian flavour such as the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence; it will be given in Simon McBurney’s intriguing production. The British director uses technology imaginatively to recreate the magic of pantomime, while his in-depth reading of the libretto reveals how it achieves universal relevance through its combination of different elements.

More information is available on the festival's official website.

Attend this production with our partner La Fugue - Europera.
