  • Mozart’s glorious opera is brought enchantingly to life in David McVicar’s production with beautiful designs by John Macfarlane. Christina Gansch and Roderick Williams sing the 'Pa-, pa-, pa-, Papageno' duet. Subscribe to our channel and find out more at www.roh.org.uk....
    Mozart wrote Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) for a suburban theatre in Vienna, the Theater auf der Wieden. He drew on the magical spectacle and earthy comedy of popular Viennese theatre. As well as being a comedy, The Magic Flute is an expression of Mozart’s profound spiritual beliefs: Enlightenment concerns with the search for wisdom and virtue are at the heart of this enchanting tale. The Magic Flute was an instant success with audiences and Mozart’s supposed rival Salieri described it as an ‘operone’ - a great opera.
    David McVicar’s classic production embraces both the seriousness and comedy of Mozart’s work. The audience is transported to a fantastical world of dancing animals, flying machines and dazzlingly starry skies. The setting provides a wonderful backdrop for Mozart’s kaleidoscopic score, from the Queen of the Night’s coloratura fireworks to Tamino and Pamina’s lyrical love duets and Papageno’s hearty, folksong-like arias.

      Apparently, Mozart initially just had them shout each other's names a few times at the start, but the librettist (who also played Papageno) suggested that they should be so excited to see each other that they couldn't even say the whole name at first

    Gansch is an absolute standout. She, along with Williams, brings this piece to LIFE. Best performance I've seen on this piece. Everyone is praising the one with Roth and Le Roi, but the better part of that performance are the costumes. I think they should have been in matching outfits here, but the performance is spot on. Brilliant!

    This was the greatest recorded performance ive yet found, and the full version got taken down recently. Such a shame, because no other performances compare to this one, with all actors being 100% on point, as well as the conducting/interpretation. I would pay good money to have a copy of this recording, because we might never see another of such greatness (atleast no others exist online that Ive found)
    EDIT: they sell dvd copies of the full performance online. Easiest purchase I've ever made, and I don't even buy my sheetmusic.

    Mozart was an incredible compozer 225 years after his death his music is still so prevalent. I think it is really sad that for many millenial's and Generations Zs his music is irrelevant and does not matter to them. I feel blessed to be the exceptional 31 year old man who has embraced his music and realize how relevant his music is today in the present and the great joy it brings me.

    The impression of cheerfulness seems to come as much from the acting as from the music, which leads me to wonder: did Mozart do only the music, or did he also do the choreography? Who actually did the choreography?
