Premiered in 1791 and conducted by the composer himself, Mozart’s last opera, Die Zauberflöte, has since established its status as one of the most beloved classic operas around the world with many of its pieces frequently adopted by TV and films scores. The fantasy follows the adventures of Prince Tamino on a quest to rescue Princess Pamina and the mission to restore the order of day and night in the process.
With charcoal animation and playful deployment of photography and video techniques, William Kentridge, the celebrated South African master of arts, retells this fascinating story as a nod to the tragedy of colonialism in the wake of the European ideal of enlightenment. The production also features world renowned opera conductor Darrell ANG and NSO to present this time-tested work.
