The Magic Flute is the work of a playful mind unbound by convention. With the help of a fairytale backdrop and radiant music, it exalts virtue and forgiveness through characters whose weaknesses and moments of heroism are common to all humans. Prince Tamino is tasked with rescuing Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, who has been kidnapped by a tyrant. To help Tamino succeed, the Queen gives him a magic flute to protect him from any danger he may encounter. Accompanied by his new friend, Papageno the bird catcher, Tamino sets out on his adventure. He learns that Sarastro, who is holding Pamina captive, took her to save her from her mother’s evil ways. But who should he believe? How can Tamino tell the difference between truth and lie, friend and foe? For Mozart, the heart must always guide us! But before Tamino and Pamina can live happily ever after, they must overcome a series of obstacles and find their own path.
Since its premier in Berlin in 2012, the enchanting staging by Suzanne Andrade and Barrie Kosky has never ceased to amaze audiences of all ages across the globe. Embracing the extravagance that was dear to Mozart and Schikaneder, it surrounds the singers with a spectacular décor of animated images borrowed from 1920s silent film, German expressionism and British comedy. To infuse this unique experience in the world of opera with energy and whimsy, the young Italian prodigy Riccardo Bisatti, born in 2000, will conduct the Orchestre National de Lille and brilliant soloists who embody the new generation of Mozart.
