The magic flute: animations

26 sold-out performances! The sensation of last season! "A genuine opera happening!" [B.Z.] Swathes of smoke that merge to form scenes, elephants swimming in cocktail glasses, flying flutes, dancing bells… Nothing is impossible in The Magic Flute performed by the Komische Oper Berlin. The British theatre group 1927 and Barrie Kosky have pulled off "a deliciously absurd blend of silent film and animation" [Berliner Morgenpost]. “You are amazed by the perfection, you laugh in appreciation of the virtuoso design behind each of these scenes... Breath-taking!” [TAZ]. Paul Barritt created the animations for this presentation of Mozart's comic opera.
