Die Zauberflöte -  (The Magic Flute)

St Margarethen

Austria

Römersteinbruch

In the 2019 season, the Magic Flute, one of the most popular operas of all, is on the program of the opera in the St. Margarethen quarry. The premiere is on July 10th on one of the most impressive open-air stages in Europe. The rugged rocky landscape of the quarry provides the breathtaking and fairytale backdrop for Mozart's parable of love and reason.

PLOT
Prince Tamino is sent by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina, who has been kidnapped by Sarastro. The bird catcher Papageno is placed at his side. Tamino receives a magic flute, Papageno a magic chime to tame wild animals, pass exams and solve puzzles. Who will win - night or day? good or bad? In the end, love alone is the winner. Prince and princess find each other, go through fire and water together, and the bird catcher can also hug his "beloved little pigeon".

Even more than 200 years after its premiere in Vienna, Mozart's masterpiece fascinates young and old, makes viewers think, cheer and indulge in an indescribable wealth of melodies. Popular theater always wanted to be "The Magic Flute", in the best and truest sense of the word, and many of the main musical themes have now become genuine folk goodness: Papageno's bird catcher's song, Tamino's dreamy, intimate contemplation of the "enchantingly beautiful portrait" or Pamina's shadowy, melancholic "Oh, I feel it “. The Queen of the Night's virtuoso coloratura arias, in particular, drew audiences to storms of applause, and for many die-hard opera fans they are the earliest reminders of the passionate enthusiasm that opera is still able to arouse over and over again.
