Jonathan Miller’s Zurich Opera production of the strangest of Mozart’s operas sets the piece in the time of its creation: 1791, just after the French Revolution and the fall of the Bastille. Sarastro (Matti Salminen) personifies the ideals of the Enlightenment, Humanism and a new political order, while the Queen of the Night (Elena Mosuc) embodies the old régime. Tamino (Piotr Beczala) starts his journey to spiritual perfection in a library, lined with a double-storied wall of books. The cast also includes Jacob Will, Peter Keller, Malin Hartelius, Anton Scharinger and Julia Neumann. Franz Welser-Möst conducts.
