  • The Magic Flute Synopsis
    Mozart’s The Magic Flute Synopsis ACT I Three ladies in the service of the Queen of the Night save the fainting Prince Tamino from a serpent (“Zu Hülfe! zu Hülfe!”). When they leave to tell the queen, the bird catcher Papageno bounces in and boasts to Tamino that it was he who killed the creature (“Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja”). The ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of the queen’s daughter, Pamina, who they say is enslaved by the evil Sarastro, and they padlock Papageno’s mouth for lying. Tamino falls in love with Pamina’s face in the portrait (“Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön”). The queen, appearing in a burst of thunder, is grieving over the loss of her daughter; she charges Tamino with Pamina’s rescue (“Zum Leiden bin ich auserkoren”). The ladies give a magic flute to Tamino and silver bells to Papageno to ensure their safety, appointing three spirits to guide them (“Hm! hm! hm! hm!”). Sarastro’s slave Monostatos pursues Pamina (“Du feines Täubchen”) but is frightened away by the feather-covered Papageno, who tells Pamina that Tamino loves her and intends to save her. Led by the three spirits to the Temple of Sarastro, Tamino is advised by a high priest that it is the queen, not Sarastro, who is evil. Hearing that Pamina is safe, Tamino charms the animals with his flute, then rushes to follow the sound of Papageno’s pipes. Monostatos and his cohorts chase Papageno and Pamina but are left helpless by Papageno’s magic bells. Sarastro, entering in great ceremony (“Es lebe Sarastro”), promises Pamina eventual freedom and punishes Monostatos.

  • The Magic Flute' and It’S Written by a Composer Called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    I’VE NEVER BEEN TO THE OPERA BEFORE. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE LIKE? It’s great fun! You can expect to hear lots of great music and acting. All operas tell a story with performers who act and sing on a stage in costume whilst a band of musicians (aka an orchestra) play along. The opera that you’ll be coming to see is called 'The Magic Flute' and it’s written by a composer called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. E WASN'T MOZART AROUND A LONG TIME AGO? IS 'THE MAGIC FLUTE' A T REALLY OLD OPERA? U Yes, Mozart lived over 200 years ago and 'The Magic Flute' was first performed in 1791. However, all the costumes and the set are all brand spanking new and L of course all the people performing aren’t 200 years old! F The costumes, set, lighting and the way the performers act is what’s known as the production, all created by a team of people led by a director. You’ll be coming to see a new production of 'The Magic Flute' today. If you see another C production of 'The Magic Flute' in the future, it’ll look totally different to this one! I G IS THE WHOLE OF 'THE MAGIC FLUTE' SUNG? A Not all of it. 'The Magic Flute' is a type of German opera called a ‘singspiel’ M which means there are several moments where the performers speak instead of singing. E DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE OPERA WILL BE IN GERMAN? H Yes it does! But don’t worry.

  • Major Themes in the Magic Flute Filled with Ritual and Symbolism
    Major Themes in The Magic Flute Filled with ritual and symbolism, Mozart’s final masterpiece is a playful but profound look at man's search for love and his struggle to attain wisdom and virtue. From the virtuosic arias of the Queen of the Night to the folksong-like melodies of the bird catcher Papageno, the full range of Mozart's miraculous talent is on display in this magical fairy-tale opera. That The Magic Flute is a barely veiled Masonic allegory cannot be doubted. It acts, in fact, as a kind of introduction to the secret society. Its story celebrates the main themes of masonry: good vs. evil, enlightenment vs. ignorance, and the virtues of knowledge, justice, wisdom and truth. The evocation of the four elements (earth, air, water and fire), the injunction of silence in the Masonic ritual, the figures of the bird, the serpent and the padlock as well as the ‘rule of three’ all play important roles in the plot or in the musical fabric of the opera (three ‘Ladies’, three ‘Boys’, three loud chords at the beginning of the overture signifying the three ‘knocks’ of the initiates at the temple, three temples, the three flats of E-flat Major which is the primary tonality of the work, etc.) All of these symbols and characteristics come from Egyptian lore and the various original texts of Masonry; hence the opera’s libretto is set in Egypt, although many productions eschew that specification. Sources: operapaedia.org & sfopera.com Definition of Freemasonry (the Masonic order) Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century.

    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs FRANZ (FRANTISEK) PÁCAL [t]. Leitomischi, Austria, 1865-Nepomuk, Czechoslo- vakia, 1938. First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

  • The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years Of
    Press release | 30/3/2017 | acr | Updated: July 2017 The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years of the Future of Opera 10 premieres for this major birthday, two of which are reencounters with titles of legendary Felsenstein productions, two are world premieres and four are operatic milestones of the 20 th century. 70 years ago, Walter Felsenstein founded the Komische Oper as a place where musical theatre makers were not content to rest on the laurels of opera’s rich traditions, but continually questioned it in terms of its relevance and sustainability. In our 2017/18 anniversary season, together with their team, our Intendant and Chefregisseur Barrie Kosky and the Managing Director Susanne Moser are putting this aim into practice once again by way of a diverse program – with special highlights to celebrate our 70 th birthday. From Baroque opera to operettas and musicals, the musical milestones of 20 th century operatic works, right through to new premieres of operas for children, with works by Georg Friedrich Handel through to Philip Glass, from Jacques Offenbach to Jerry Bock, from Claude Debussy to Dmitri Shostakovich, staged both by some of the most distinguished directors of our time as well as directorial newcomers. New Productions Our 70 th birthday will be celebrated not just with a huge birthday cake on 3 December, but also with two anniversary productions. Two works which enjoyed great success as legendary Felsenstein productions are returning in new productions. Barrie Kosky is staging Jerry Brock’s musical Fiddler on the Roof , with Max Hopp/Markus John and Dagmar Manzel in the lead roles, and the magician of the theatre, Stefan Herheim, will present Jacques Offenbach’s operetta Barbe- bleue in a new, German and French version.

  • Tema 7. Escenografía
    WAGNERIANA CASTELLANA Nº 53 AÑO 2005 TEMA 7. ESCENOGRAFÍA TÍTULO: “REGIETHEATER”, EL VENENO DE LA OPERA AUTOR: Marcel Prawy “Las palabras bellas no son verdad, las palabras veraces no son bellas.” Esto es lo que cree Lao- Tse. “Regietheater” es un teatro dictado y dominado por el regidor. Esto es para el mundo de la ópera lo que el Sida para el cuerpo humano. Es deber del regidor contar clara y comprensible, al público de hoy, la obra creada por el autor. Cuando lo cuenta de manera incomprensible, si cabe más incomprensible que la pieza misma, ha fracasado. Cuando cuenta la obra de manera diferente a como el autor la ha previsto – cuando según su antojo cambia el contenido de la pieza – engaña al público y este tiene derecho a pedir que le devuelvan el dinero de la entrada. La libertad artística del regidor, en su proyecto visual, tiene los mismos límites que tiene el director de orquesta ante la música. La puesta en escena ha tenido siempre una gran importancia en la historia de la Ópera. Hoy esto es ignorado por los regidores y además, si lo saben, no les importa nada en absoluto. ¿Cómo se logra a través del decorado que sean comprensibles las diferentes fases de la acción? ¿Cómo se crean entradas impresionantes? ¿Cómo se ilumina de manera que la mujer aparezca bella? ¿Dónde se coloca un cantante para que su voz suene lo mejor posible? Es peligroso que el regidor sea quien reparta los papeles, cosa frecuente hoy en día, cuando lo mejor es que sea el director de orquesta quien los escoja.
