Description

“Such a little fat dachshund has never been seen here before,” Goethe’s mother wrote to her son in 1793 about a performance of DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (The Magic Flute) – a remark that reflects how Mozart’s Singspiel quickly captivated a wide audience. At once entertaining and sophisticated, the story follows Prince Tamino and Papageno who face a series of trials to rescue the princess Pamina from the clutches of Sarastro. It journey full of dangers, at the end of which lies the hope for a self-determined future together.

Mozart’s most famous opera DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (The Magic Flute) remains an audience favorite in Cologne’s repertoire. The production by the past general director Michael Hampe takes both young and old on a fairytale journey. Philipp von Steinaecker, Katharina Müllner, and Rainer Mühlbach will take turns conducting the Gürzenich Orchestra.
