More Details on Mozart - Die Zauberflote
This sensational production, which TDK presents in its series of recordings from the Paris National Opera, is infused with an all-pervading sense of playful joy, and is packed with wonderful effects including flying machines, colourful costumes and magical scene changes.
The Paris production documented here opened at the end of 2000 and is cast of the finest rank: Sarastro is played by the experienced Finnish bass Matti Salminen, while the other main roles are taken by young singers – all now well-established on the international scene – who were then at the start of their careers, including Dorothea Röschmann. All the cast are under the baton of worldwide successful Hungarian conductor Ivan Fischer.
Besson’s detailed, even scholarly knowledge of the work’s genesis and his supreme grasp of its cultural and ideological background are the perfect vehicle for a truly magical operatic experience!
