The NA Office of Duesseldorf Tourism and Duesseldorf Airport announce: Mozart’s Magic Flute in New Production Merging Performers with Animation
Düsseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) September 12, 2014 -- The fairy tale world of lovers Tamino and Pamina and their path to enlightenment after a series of tests and obstacles comes to new life in a production of “The Magic Flute” by director Barrie Kosky and British theatre company 1927. The show premieres at Düsseldorf’s Opera House on September 13 after great success in Berlin and Los Angeles. Singers interact on stage with a hand-drawn animated film that follows Mozart’s magic along with main characters Tamino, Pamina and Papageno.
There is hardly another stage work with as successful history as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s final opera, which premiered in Vienna in September 1791. Key to its success then, as now, is the visual and theatrical richness of the opera and its fantastic potential for the stage. Just like librettist Emanuel Schikaneder did with numerous and complex stage effects that amazed the audience at the original premiere, the new interpretation, conceived and produced by Barrie Kosky in collaboration with 1927, mesmerizes with its imaginative details and technical finesse. “You have to revel in the inconsistencies of the plot and characters and in the mix of fantasy, surrealism, magic and deeply moving human emotion,” explains Kosky (duration: approx 2.5 hours, one interval).
