The Mannes School of Music Presents: Die Zauberflöte
A MANNES OPERA PRODUCTION
DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE
April 14, 15, 16, 2023
Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College
composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
libretto by Emmanuel Schikaneder
Since its premiere performance in 1791, Mozart's DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (THE MAGIC FLUTE) has been wildly popular with audiences worldwide. Within a strange, joyous tale of monsters, heroes, and adventure, Mozart crafted music of incredible depth, range, and emotion, giving us a sparkling meditation on humanity.
Mannes Opera's new production takes the idea of a universal fairytale, twists it through a modern lens, and creates a lush, liminal space of myth and mystery to bring life to the mercurial nature of the story. The music, conducted by rising star Tong Chen, captures the tale's lightness and darkness with soaring arias, intricate duets, and rousing choruses to delight and thrill an audience.
The young singers of Mannes Opera infuse the production with their fresh energy and exceptional vocal abilities, bringing new life to beloved characters. With its rollicking blend of music, drama, and fantasy, Mannes Opera's production of DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE promises to be a vibrant experience for opera lovers and newcomers alike.
