Is The Magic Flute a remarkable fairy-tale with comic elements, a folk comedy or an encoded work, full of freemason symbols? Is it merely a story of love overcoming all obstacles, or a piece motivating the viewer to attempt achieving perfection? – The work contains all these planes and because of this it remains a challenge for all producers.
Mozart’s last opera, a fairy-tale singspiel from 1791 to the libretto of E. Schikaneder is a true masterpiece. The magical fairy-tale story is a multi-layered play full of fantasy, humour, but also philosophy. The characters of prince Tamino, princess Pamina, the wise Sarastro, the evil Queen of the night and especially the jolly bird-fancier Papageno address and entertain their viewers worldwide for over 200 years.
Premiere: Oct 20, 1995
Response in the press
“In the production directed by Ladislav Štros, the stage opens on a fabulous world with a Masonic tinge, spectacular enough to bring back recollections of Czech fairy-tale movies.”
(Hartmut Schulz, Der Neue Merker, Wien, 10/2001)
