Die Zauber­flöte

Her daughter needs a prince, the Queen of the Night claims, in order to persuade Tamino to free Pamina from the clutches of the alleged scoundrel Sarastro. And so Tamino sets out together with the bird catcher Papageno to become a hero. But many surprises await him on his adventurous rescue mission...

Barrie Kosky's multimedia production of “Die Zauberflöte”, which the director developed in 2012 together with the British artists' collective “1927”, achieved cult status all over the world. The imaginative interplay of scene, music and the richly detailed video animation elegantly transposes Mozart's most famous opera elegantly into the present.
