Mozart's most famous opera and an unprecedented stroke of genius! One would think so, but with Mozart one is never immune to surprises. As famous as this enchanting work is, so little is known about its history and – the direct precursor. In fact, virtuous priestly spheres, temple kingdoms, two lovers who are only allowed to meet after a thorough examination, weird birds and magical objects made their big appearance on the Viennese opera scene a year before the premiere of The Magic Flute . And Mozart has his fingers in the game, as a whole group of composers together Emanuel Schikaneder's libretto The Philosopher's Stone or: The Magic Islandl set to music – including some striking similarities with Mozart's masterpiece, which is only one year younger. And it doesn't matter whether it's a composer, librettist, conductor or singer: the entire crew of the Magic Island is also part of The Magic Flute in 1791. With a select group of singers, the Hofkapelle Munich brings the Singspiel to the Kaisersaal stage, which animated Mozart to a stroke of genius and whose surprising parallels to the Magic Flute are a true discovery.
