DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE

About the show

In this new production by Marcos Morau, choreographer and founder of La Veronal, and with Josep Pons, in his new role as honorary music director, at the helm of the orchestra of the Liceu, The Magic Flute is presented as an exceptional event: a stage utopia in which music and image intertwine to build a bridge between opposing worlds. The wonder of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is much more than an initiatory tale dressed in fantasy. Among enchanted animals and ritual trials unfolds a symbolic universe in which the sacred and the profane coexist, confront each other and transform. The journey of Tamino and Pamina is a spiritual crossing: they overcome fears, silences and mirages to reach a form of knowledge that illuminates from within. In Sarastro’s solar temple, reason, wisdom and fraternity stand as ideals that order and liberate; each step of the ritual is a metaphor for the ascent of the soul from darkness toward discernment.
