The magic flute

The play begins and Tamino is all the way at the bottom, unconscious, powerless, disoriented. His path toward awareness of his existence is rife with puzzles and tests. He meets three dubious women, a jolly soul catcher, three strange boys, a sinister queen, an unlucky lover, a powerful sage and, ultimately, Pamina, his other half. In his first opera production, Nuremberg’s ballet director Goyo Montero presents Mozart’s musical fairy tale as a dangerous and sanguine adventure of two people – or is it just one? – finding themselves.
