Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
THE MAGIC FLUTE
An opera in two acts
Conducted by Nikša Bareza
Directed by Krešimir Dolenčić
The last opera of the genius composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Magic Flute, is an extraordinary work which showcases the best characteristics of one of the greatest composers in history. This musical tale tells the story about the battle between good and evil, about the victory of love and honesty over intrigue, wickedness and death. The Magic Flute is one of the pinnacles of operatic art and represents a challenge for the performers and the audience. It was created for the German libretto of Emanuel Schikaneder, and had a world premiere on 30 September 1791 in Vienna, only two months after Mozart died. Shaped through two
acts, The Magic Flute at first sight seems to be a simple fable about the battle between
good and evil, about the victory of love and honesty over intrigue, wickedness and death. However, in the spirit of its time, under the surface of the fable lies a complex allegory about a quest for wisdom and illumination.
The Magic Flute as directed by Krešimir Dolenčić and performed by the whole ensemble is a true triumph of humanity and optimism, masterfully drawn from the magical Mozart score. — Klasika.hr
Everyone was the best! Indeed, one needs to come see and hear the Magic Flute of Zagreb, where everyone feels good, and the audience leaves elated. A rare gem. — Jutarnji list
