Screen Grab, by Riena Shibahara, Annaliei Sayers and Matthew Brooks, is one of a series of animated films inspired by opera and produced in collaboration with Kingston University students, 2015. 

The animation uses the idea of social media and online presence as a platform for a personality shift and an outlet for rage. The animation reveals the Queen of the Night’s real feelings, which have been disguised under her mask, in the same way that online interaction can be very different from face-to-face communication.

Mozart wrote Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) for a suburban theatre in Vienna, the Theater auf der Wieden, and drew on the magical spectacle and earthy comedy of popular Viennese theatre. As well as being a comedy, Die Zauberflöte is an expression of Mozart’s profound spiritual beliefs. Enlightenment concerns with the search for wisdom and virtue are at the heart of this enchanting tale. Die Zauberflöte was an instant success with audiences and Mozart’s supposed rival Salieri described it as an ‘operone’ – a great opera.

David McVicar’s classic production embraces both the seriousness and comedy of Mozart’s work. The audience is transported to a fantastical world of dancing animals, flying machines and dazzlingly starry skies. The setting provides a wonderful backdrop for Mozart’s kaleidoscopic score, from the Queen of the Night’s coloratura fireworks to Tamino and Pamina’s lyrical love duets and Papageno’s hearty, folksong-like arias.
