“This production points the way towards a freer, more experimental style of producing opera, even in a mainstream context.” The New York Times
Premiering at Komische Oper Berlin in 2012, The Magic Flute marked 1927's first opera and remains one of our most celebrated productions. Mozart's timeless tale of love, courage and enlightenment is reimagined through a distinctive blend of live performance and animation, transporting audiences into a fantastical world where silent film, theatrical illusion and opera collide. More than a decade after its premiere, the production continues to tour internationally and has become one of the most widely performed opera productions of its generation.
