The most popular and marvelous opera written by Mozart, the unrivalled magician. The opera is based on a masterful libretto of Mozart’s friend Schikaneder, librettist but also initiator of the role of Papageno. Created two months before his death, the Magic Flute is a magical fairy tale dealing with the elevation by wisdom, love and goodness of the human being to a higher morality corresponding to the ideas of the Age of Enlightenment, the Aufklärung of rationalism. Since the beginning “The Magic Flute” was a real success. At the moment Mozart leaves one world to enter another: the music of the Magic Flute marks the beginning of the 19th century. > Friday 10th july - 9 p.m .
