Open-air retransmission of Mozart's major work "The Magic Flute" in a new production by the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, directed by Clément Cogitore:
A couple journeys from darkness to light in a world of wonder: somewhere between fairy-tale entertainment and noble initiation, Mozart’s The Magic Flute remains the composer’s greatest popular success, and a major aesthetic and spiritual achievement in the history of opera.
For the first time at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea tackle a work by his leading composer, with a cast as enchanting as any. But what is the dark side of any luminous utopia in the West, past or present?
Drawing on the sensitive archive of our collective memory, video artist and director Clément Cogitore invites us to follow the apprenticeship novel of young children growing up in a world of fragile beauty and uncertain truth.
New production by the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in coproduction with Théâtres de la ville de Luxembourg, Opéra ballet Vlaanderen.
