OPERA from

GLYNDEBOURNE

 

Saturday 25th January at 6pm​

The Magic Flute

​

​

​

​

​

When Prince Tamino sees the beautiful Pamina he falls instantly in love. But she has been kidnapped by Sarastro, so with the help of bird-catcher Papageno he sets out on a quest to find her. Searching for love, Tamino finds much more than he bargained for. Faced with a decision he must choose between darkness and light, order and chaos, duty and desire. Which will it be?

 

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) is one of Mozart’s most enchanting works. A fairytale that asks provocative and difficult questions about religion, the nature of power, the bonds of family, and of course love.

 

Premiered at Festival 2019, this high-energy production of Die Zauberflöte sets the action in a Viennese hotel at the turn of the century. Praised as ‘Witty, irrepressible and unforgettable’ by The Guardian, this staging by celebrated director-design duo André Barbe and Renaud Doucet takes a fresh and playful look at Mozart’s great opera.

 

But just as Die Zauberflöte’s musical charm – its catchy melodies, lively comedy and colourful cast of characters – conceals a complex and ambiguous piece, so this production also has its serious side. Inspired by the pioneering women of the Suffragette movement, the production explores ideas of female power and desire and asks how a woman can gain authority in a man’s world.

 

The beauty of Mozart’s operatic allegory is its adaptability. Whether you want an innocent comedy or something rather more sophisticated, it’s all here in this endlessly perplexing and fascinating work.

 

Following the Glyndebourne format, if not the weather, bring your own picnic for the dinner interval. Tables and chairs will be provided!

The doors and bar open at 5.30pm and the performance starts at 6pm, with one dinner interval (30 minutes) when picnics can be eaten, the bar will be open and ice creams sold. Tickets are £12 each and are limited in number so they must be reserved from Hartingfilms@mail.com and paid for at the door with cash or card. Also, tables for 4 or 6 people can also be reserved.
