STAGING
The production consciously avoids the countless interpretations that the work has undergone in its over two-hundred-year history. The Lindauer Magic Flute takes place in a fairytale land. And this is not only because the fairytale genre strategically uses illogicalities and paradoxes to enchant literally. Each spectator is allowed and encouraged to find and invent their own story in the Magic Flute.

STAGE HISTORY
The premiere took place on September 30, 1791, at the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden - a Viennese suburban theater. In October 1791 alone, the Magic Flute had nearly twenty performances, and it continued to be successful in the Viennese theater's program in the following months. A year later, on October 25, 1792, it was successfully performed in Prague, followed by performances in Munich, in Frankfurt am Main in 1793, and finally in Berlin and in Weimar in 1794.
