L'orchestre dirigé par Colin Davis donne du volume à cette musique intemporelle jusqu'aux frissons. La mise en scène, assez riche et scintillante crée une ambiance féerique et mystique. Les belles lumières amplifient les mouvements. Et tout cela est soutenu par les chanteurs-comédiens, tous remarquables et totalement habités par leurs rôles (petit bémol aux Trois Garçons, un peu trop tendus et frêles...). Deux personnages cependant sont au delà de ce qu'on appelle "la performance". Papageno d'abord, chanté et interprété par Simon Keenlyside, tout simplement exceptionnel. Le chanteur rend ce personnage particulièrement attachant, pataud, candide et devient la quintessence de l'oiseleur. Vient ensuite le rôle emblématique de cet opéra: La Reine de la Nuit. Et là, on est électrisé par Diana Damrau, elle aussi exceptionnelle. Elle transforme la performance vocale en performance humaine et céleste..
"Die Zauberflöte" opens with Prince Tamino being rescued from a serpent by Ladies in the employ of the Queen of the Night. Papageno the bird-catcher arrives and claims he killed the serpent, but the outraged Ladies padlock Papageno's mouth for his lie. They also show Tamino a portrait of Princess Pamina, the Queen's kidnapped daughter, and he immediately falls in love. Protected by a golden flute, he sets off with the bird-catcher Papageno to rescue Pamina from the clutches of the sorcerer Sarastro and a madcap adventure involving magicians, wild animals and very Masonic-like trials. Triumphing over all adversity, the lovers unite, as the forces of light banish the darkness and Papageno even finds a true love of his own..

Magic opera, Singspiel, a comedy with spectacular stage effects, Masonic ritual with Egyptian mysteries, heroic-comic opera? Die Zauberflöte is heard more often and has been more frequently performed, discussed, queried and interrogated than almost any other work in the history of opera. It is rare for the mysteriousness and multiformity of a work to be adjured with such mantric intensity. It is equally rare for a work to enjoy such undisputed success despite all these debates – and for over two hundred years at that..
An esoteric fairy-tale, a mystical-dreamlike tale, and a symbolic-Masonic course: No matter which perspective you consider it from, The Magic Flute will always be one of Mozart’s undisputed masterpieces. Amidst exotic, fanciful settings and cruel trials to conquer knowledge, amidst musical enchantment and threatening hostile forces, is the final victory of good over evil and love over hate. Singspiel in two acts to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder, the Zauberflöte is one of the Salzburg genius’ last masterpieces, which he probably began composing in May 1791, not even six months before his death. The opera had its debut in Vienna on 30 September 1791, conducted by the composer himself and with Schikaneder as Papageno..

Un conte de fées fantaisiste avec des thèmes profondément enracinés dans les Lumières et la franc-maçonnerie, la Flûte enchantée de Mozart plaît à un public de tous âges. Julie Taymor, lauréate du Tony Award, associe la magie et le mystère de cette fable intemporelle à une mise en scène qui prend vie avec des couleurs vives, des costumes complexes et des marionnettes inventives. Dans cette performance de la saison 2017-2018, le ténor Charles Castronovo incarne Tamino, noble prince à la recherche de jeune fille Pamina, chantée par la rayonnante soprano Golda Schultz pour sa première saison au Met. En cours de route, Tamino se lie d'amitié avec l'oiseleur Papageno (Markus Werba) et affronte les forces de la lumière représentées par le bienveillant Sarastro (René Pape), et des ténèbres incarnées par l'ébouriffante Reine de la Nuit (Kathryn Lewek). James Levine dirige cette joyeuse interprétation de l'un des derniers chefs-d'œuvre de Mozart..

One of opera’s most beloved works receives its first new Met staging in 19 years—a daring vision by renowned English director Simon McBurney that The Wall Street Journal declared “the best production I’ve ever witnessed of Mozart’s opera.” Nathalie Stutzmann conducts the Met Orchestra, with the pit raised to make the musicians visible to the audience and allow interaction with the cast. In his Met-debut staging, McBurney lets loose a volley of theatrical flourishes, incorporating projections, sound effects, and acrobatics to match the spectacle and drama of Mozart’s fable. The brilliant cast includes soprano Erin Morley as Pamina, tenor Lawrence Brownlee as Tamino, baritone Thomas Oliemans in his Met debut as Papageno, soprano Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night, and bass Stephen Milling as Sarastro..
