Music and love can heal the world. This is the message of the immortal "Magic Flute." A small variety theater troupe now has the daring plan to bring this masterpiece to their stage: with little money and personnel, but with lots of imagination, playfulness, and musicality.
Thus, the ensemble anarchically frees the somewhat dusty opera characters from false pathos – and we meet people with contemporary longings and needs: the good-natured, sentimental, bewildered Prince Tamino and his impulsively driven bird-catcher friend Papageno. The passionately loving and simultaneously emotionally confused Pamina. The male-vain Prince Sarastro and the wounded Queen of the Night, who carries out her power struggles on the backs of the young generation. These internally lonely and desire-driven figures are in search of forces of good in a mysteriously threatening outside world. Carried by moving music, they effortlessly navigate the balancing act between comedy and tragedy.

The piece created in 2024 at the Vienna Burgtheater achieves the miracle of charging the famous Mozart opera with wit, spirit, and modernity – while simultaneously preserving its magic. The classical melodies are newly arranged and enter into a surprising dialogue with pop classics of our time. Mozart and Schikaneder would have joyfully turned in their graves.
