Description
An open-air broadcast of Mozart’s masterpiece *The Magic Flute* in a new production by the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, directed by Clément Cogitore:
A couple journeys from shadow to light in a wondrous world: a blend of magical entertainment and noble initiation, Mozart’s *The Magic Flute* remains the composer’s greatest popular success, while also standing as a major aesthetic and spiritual achievement in the history of opera.
Conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea present a work by their flagship composer for the first time at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, featuring a cast as enchanting as the piece itself. But what shadow inevitably lurks within every luminous utopia in the West, past or present?
Drawing from the sensory archive of our collective memory, video artist and director Clément Cogitore invites us to follow the coming-of-age story of young children growing up in a world of fragile beauty and uncertain truth.
A new production by the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in co-production with the Théâtres de la ville de Luxembourg and Opéra Ballet Vlaanderen.
