THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Mozart: Die Zauberflöte / The Magic Flute
Saimir Pirgu (Tamino); Genia Kühmeier (Pamina); Alex Esposito (Papageno); Ailish Tynan (Papagena); Günther Groissböck (Sarastro); Albina Shagimuratova (Queen of the Night)
From the Queen of the Night's vocal pyrotechnics to Papageno's chirpy birdsongs, The Magic Flute is one of Mozart's most charming and engaging operas. However, its fairytale surface conceals the mysteries of an initiation ritual and a multi-layered plot, packed with allegories to fire up the imagination.
This celebrated production by artist William Kentridge joyfully bursts onto the stage of Teatro alla Scala in Milan, featuring the dazzling Russian coloratura Albina Shagimuratova as the Queen of the Night, and Italian bass Alex Esposito as Papageno, one of the most sought-after artists of his generation.
