New production on period instruments, postpone of July 2020. Co-production Bremen’s Festival (Germany)

After having conducted, Idomeneo, The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, with the phenomenal success that we know, Jérémie Rhorer conducts, in Beaune, The Magic Flute. The most popular and marvelous opera written by Mozart, the unrivalled magician. The opera is based on a masterful libretto of Mozart’s friend Schikaneder, librettist but also initiator of the role of Papageno. Created two months before his death, the Magic Flute is a magical fairy tale dealing with the elevation by wisdom, love and goodness of the human being to a higher morality corresponding to the ideas of the Age of Enlightenment, the Aufklärung of rationalism. Since the beginning “The Magic Flute” was a real success. At the moment Mozart leaves one world to enter another: the music of the Magic Flute marks the beginning of the 19th century.
