Seebühne

The Bregenz Festival has developed into an internationally renowned musical event. A popular musical theater work is performed on the lake stage with around 7,000 seats, while an opera rarity is regularly on the program in the Festspielhaus. The festival became known far beyond the borders of classical music as the setting for the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace".
This summer and next, the Bregenz Festival is showing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Magic Flute", one of the world's most popular operas, which premiered in 1791 as a play on the lake. Festival director David Pountney is directing, the stage design is by Johan Engels, and the costumes and puppets were designed by Marie-Jeanne Lecca. The trio last caused a great international sensation on Lake Constance in 2010 with the opera in the Festspielhaus "The Passenger" by Mieczyslaw Weinberg (in our program on July 23).

David Pountney writes about the production:
"The Magic Flute" conveys an enlightened, humanistic ideal of being human: in the end, a normal man and a normal woman are responsible for the future of society, while the power apparatus of queens and priests proves to be superfluous. There is a passage where Sarastro's priests wonder if Tamino will be able to pass all the exams, since he is a prince. Sarastro replies, "More than that - he's human!" At the end of the opera, Tamino and Pamina are no longer seen as prince and princess, but actually only as a man and a woman: for me that is the conclusion of this piece. "The Magic Flute" is imbued with the ideas of the Enlightenment, a movement

But if the "Magic Flute" were only about such things, this opera would probably have been forgotten long ago. Mozart, however, manages a balancing act that we otherwise only know from Shakespeare: "The Magic Flute" is also a wonderfully told fairy tale! She is charming and entertaining, enchanting and funny, romantic and witty - and yet carries a great philosophical message.
