Mozart est magique, il se relève de tout ! Après bien des péripéties sanitaires, le danseur et chorégraphe Philippe Decouflé a accepté de s’emparer de ce programme musical. Il fait dialoguer chanteurs, clowns, danseurs et vidéo en direct lors de ce “Concert spectaculaire”. Insula orchestra et Laurence Equilbey y invitent la fine fleur du chant mozartien pour un voyage féérique autour des plus beaux airs de Mozart, dans un esprit de légèreté, d’amour, d’humour et de vitalité.

An esoteric fairy-tale, a mystical-dreamlike tale, and a symbolic-Masonic course: No matter which perspective you consider it from, The Magic Flute will always be one of Mozart’s undisputed masterpieces. Amidst exotic, fanciful settings and cruel trials to conquer knowledge, amidst musical enchantment and threatening hostile forces, is the final victory of good over evil and love over hate. Singspiel in two acts to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder, the Zauberflöte is one of the Salzburg genius’ last masterpieces, which he probably began composing in May 1791, not even six months before his death. The opera had its debut in Vienna on 30 September 1791, conducted by the composer himself and with Schikaneder as Papageno.
