There are no lesser powers than the "world of the night" and the "world of the sun" that are engaged in a bitter struggle for the truth. Prince Sarastro has kidnapped Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night, and now Prince Tamino is tasked with rescuing her. Because he falls in love with her picture right away, he is happy to agree. He is paired with the witty bird catcher Papageno, who is a bit lonely himself. The path to freedom is rocky and leads the unequal couple through a purifying test temple - they get help from a magical glockenspiel and the eponymous magic flute. Even though Mozart's Grand Opera stands in the tradition of Viennese puppet and magic operas, it contains nothing less than a piece of humanity in the guise of a fairytale mystery. There is no contradiction here between a cheerful spectacle of stage machinery and the interpretation of serious humanistic ideas. After Die Entführung aus dem Seraglio and Tosca , in-house director Nikolaus Habjan is now dedicating himself to the opera of all operas and, as a puppet magician, will approach this work in a poetic way. The gala performance on November 11 marks the 35th stage anniversary of Johannes Martin Kränzle, whose operatic career began in September 1987 at the Dortmund Theater and has since taken him to the major centers of the world such as the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festivals and the Metropolitan Opera in New York led.
