Die Zauberflöte

by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Grand opera in two acts
Libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder

A story of growing up and love: Tamino is commissioned by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina, who is being held in Sarastro's Temple of Wisdom. Involuntarily, the bird catcher Papageno is sent along on Tamino's journey, on which the categorization of good and evil, light and shadow, wisdom and irrationality is repeatedly turned on its head (and back again in case of doubt). We are showing the legendary Magic Flute from the Komische Oper Berlin, which director Barrie Kosky has staged with the theater-video-art collective "1927" in an astonishing video animation world for the whole family.
