The Magic Flute (2005)
The Magic Flute is one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most mysterious and emblematic operas. A surreal fable, this production at the Teatro Real features stage direction by La Fura dels Baus, who create a stage atmosphere brimming with symbolism.
The plot follows the perilous journey of young Prince Tamino, who uses music and magical amulets to rescue his beloved Pamina, accompanied by a parade of iconic characters such as Papageno and Papagena, Sarastro, and the Queen of the Night, the latter performing one of the most famous arias in operatic history: "Der Hölle Rache."
