The beloved singspiel Die Zauberflöte is a fantasy of love and adventure that has sparked a lifetime of opera appreciation in many children around the world. This work is a veritable treasure trove of sound, with a succession of beautiful musical numbers showcased throughout, including the catchy "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja" and "Pa- Pa- Pa-", as well as the technically demanding aria "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" sung by the Königin der Nacht (Queen of the Night). The celebrated production by William Kentridge, master of contemporary art, uses drawings to create a mystical setting. The video projections are in black and white representing the conflict between light and shadows of human nature. The director's profound sensibilities and poesy bring out the essence of genius composer's final opera. At the same time, the production uses the theme of colonialism to illuminate the European Enlightenment ideals encapsulated in Die Zauberflöte, with insights into the concepts of virtue and power.

Conducted by the brilliant Czech conductor Tomáš Netopil, performers coming to Japan include the world's most sought-after Tamino, Pavol Breslik, and the outstanding bass, Matheus França. This performance will also feature a host of talented Japanese singers such as Yasui Yoko as Königin der Nacht.
