Com si fos Tamino, em deixaré portar i m’endinsaré al Regne de la Nit, buscaré l’amor i l’intentaré acostar fins a vosaltres. Imagino un escenari quasi despullat, on del mig surt una taca fosca que il·luminada és l’orquestra. Lentament uns cantants que apareixen solemnes ens van explicant la peripècia de Ta- mino, Papageno, la Reina, les tres dames, Sarastro... i Pamina. Una aventura màgica, complexa i alhora simple, que em va atrapar des de ben petit, quan els meus pares me la van fer descobrir. Aquest conte de nens fascinant amaga símbols i interpretacions darrere les moltes claus amagades en la par- titura i el llibret. Partiré d’un escenari quasi buit, prendré la música i la veu i les faré protagonistes. Entrellaçant aquests elements, la història anirà prenent cos, anirà esdevenint-se... Intentaré explicar-me el sentiment de petitesa que sento davant la música de Mozart. Buscaré l’equilibri entre la raó i l’emoció que la seva música em desperta. I vetllaré per aques- ta teatralitat que enllaça de manera perfecta la música i el cant. Entraré i sortiré de la Nit per compartir amb vosaltres l’expe- riència. Oriol BROGGI Director d’escena Resum argumental LA FLAUTA MÀGICA Música de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Òpera còmica (singspiel) en dos actes Estrenada el 30 de setembre de 1791 al Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden de Viena Llibret d’Emanuel Schikaneder (1751-1812) inspirat en Lulú o la flauta màgica d’August Jacob Liebeskind Prehistòria i havia una vegada la Reina de la Nit i el seu espòs que governaven el setè Hcercle solar.

His first opera was La finta semplice, an opera buffa he composed at age 12. The more serious operas Mitridate (1770) and Lucio Silla (1772) followed. Throughout these years, his eagerness to try out operatic forms was insatiable.

  • The Magic Flute
    Press Release October 16, 2019 Washington National Opera presents Mozart’s comic masterpiece The Magic Flute Mozart’s final opera features design by Maurice Sendak Led by opera’s rising stars Kathryn Lewek, Sydney Mancasola, and David Portillo November 2–23, 2019 in the Kennedy Center Opera House (WASHINGTON)—The whimsical tale of The Magic Flute comes to life at Washington National Opera (WNO) at the Kennedy Center Opera House from November 2–23, 2019. Performed in English with projected surtitles, this production of The Magic Flute features design by famed children’s author/illustrator Maurice Sendak. This light-hearted and comical opera is a delight for newcomers and opera fans alike. The dashing Tamino will be performed by tenor David Portillo who sings “high notes with ease” (Opera News). Portillo previously performed with Washington National Opera in its 2015 production of La Cenerentola as Don Ramiro. Sydney Mancasola makes her WNO debut as the princess Pamina, having sung the role at the Metropolitan Opera last season. Mancasola has performed at distinguished opera houses across the United States and Europe, including Komische Oper Berlin, Oper Frankfurt, and the English National Opera. Following highly successful performances at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Houston Grand Opera, coloratura soprano Kathryn Lewek returns to WNO in a role which has become her signature—the Queen of the Night. Both Portillo and Lewek are set to reprise their roles at the Metropolitan Opera later this year. This production of The Magic Flute features two alumni of the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program who have become familiar faces to WNO audiences.
