Mozart’s much loved opera returns to the GNO in an impressive, innovative production which launched in Berlin and has already become famous worldwide. Wherever The Magic Flute directed by Barrie Kosky, the Australian artistic director of the Komische Oper Berlin has been staged, crowds have been awed by the production’s sheer imagination and by the precision with which the artists perform the ‘dance-like’ directions, which merge animation with ‘live’ spectacle and a sense of cabaret, music hall and Weimar Republic era shows as well as dabs of British humor and opera.
