Marc Chagall designed The Magic Flute in 1968 for the New York’s Metropolitan Opera, David Hockney designed it in 1978 for Glyndebourne. The creators behind the staging we see in Warsaw today wanted the visual side of it to be filled with magic and surrealism, wanted to free it from the shackles of rationality and let it be guided only by the logic of dreams. The director – Barrie Kosky, the Intendant of the Komische Oper in Berlin – collaborated on this show with Susanne Andrade – actress, poet and stand-up comedian, and with Paul Barrit, who created the animations. It is precisely the animations that free this show from the constraints of logic and allow rapid changes of location – from the internal to the outside world, from a grim forest to a seedy bar, from a beating heart to a space filled with fluttering butterflies. Swift pace is key to this staging. ‘Zu Hilfe! Zu Hilfe!’ sings Tamino, running till he is breathless. The action unfolds fast, also because the spoken parts are cut and replaced with silent movie intertitles. Silent movies are also a source of aesthetic inspiration for the creators – Murnau’s Nosferatu, Buster Keaton’s movies, as well as costumes and hairstyle of Louise Brooks: a short black bob with bangs. ‘I wanted to play with the contradictions inherent in the libretto,’ says Barrie Kosky. Indeed, the show he has created is fun and full of joy – it gives a real boost of energy and joie de vivre.
