Die Zauberflöte (Sharon)

In the organizer's words:

Prince Tamino falls in love with Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night, on the basis of a picture. But she is in the power of Sarastro. On behalf of the queen, Tamino and his companion Papageno set out to free Pamina from Sarastro's temple district. But as soon as they arrive, the question of which of the characters is good and which is evil arises anew. The only thing that seems clear is that Pamina returns Tamino's love. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most famous opera by far is also his most enigmatic: in it, the opposing worlds of popular Viennese suburban theater and philosophical Enlightenment drama interpenetrate. At the heart of Yuval Sharon's production - with Mimi Lien's imagery and Walter Van Beirendonck's imaginative costumes nominated for the London Design Museum's "Beazley Designs of the Year 2019" - is the idea of a collage, as Mozart's music itself is, constantly shifting between the stylistic levels of folk play, Singspiel and opera seria. In doing so, Sharon engages with Viennese machine comedy and puppet theater, in which Heinrich von Kleist admired the lost "natural grace" of man. In Sharon's staging approach, the childlike imagination holds the strings. In addition to this production of "The Magic Flute," the Everding production, so important for repertory maintenance, will also be seen in the future - two different perspectives on the world's most performed German-language opera.
