In The Magic Flute, a prince from a distant land in search of an imprisoned princess meets a giant serpent, a swaggering bird catcher, a Queen of the Night and a High Priest imposing strange rites of passage. How to understand Mozart's last opera, created in Vienna in 1791, two months before his death? As a wonderful children's tale, as a reflection of Mozart and his librettist Schikaneder's membership in Freemasonry, or as the most ardent meditation on human existence? Director Robert Carsen tries to overcome the Manichaeism of the libretto – the opposition between Good, represented by Sarastro, and Evil, represented by the Queen of the Night – by considering that each of them guides the young Tamino and Pamina on the path to wisdom. An optimistic reading that does not eliminate the idea of ​​death, described by Mozart in a letter to his father as “our best friend”. More information onhttps://www.operadeparis.fr/saison-22...,
