The opera The Magic Flute is one of the greatest creations, expressing our best, purest thoughts. A work that makes a triumphal procession around the world. 
At first glance, The Magic Flute is an opera-fairy tale, which glorifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, love over deceit, fortitude over cowardice, friendship over enmity. In fact, the composer's last opera is the deepest philosophical work, which embodied Mozart's ideal of a just state. Despite the complexity of the plot plot, the idea of ​​the opera is extremely clear: the path to happiness lies only through overcoming difficulties and trials. Happiness is not given by itself, it is acquired as a result of vitality and fidelity, devotion and patience, love and faith in good forces. It is also significant that the forces of good and evil are contained not only in human characters, they are rooted in the very foundations of the universe. In the opera, they are personified by magical symbolic characters - the wise magician Sarastro (bearer of the "sign of the sun") and the insidious Queen of the Night. Between the kingdom of the sun and the kingdom of the night, Tamino rushes about - a man who seeks the truth and comes to it through a series of trials.
The production of Mikhail Pandzhavidze is the first incarnation of The Magic Flute on the SATOB stage. This is a "theater within the theater": the characters of the performance play The Magic Flute as a home performance, and the vicissitudes of Mozart's opera help them sort out their own heart and worldly problems.
