Experience
“The Magic Flute”!
The
Magic Flute was a huge success at its premiere in 1791 (with Mozart himself conducting)
and has remained popular ever since. It is one of those rare works in any art
form that appeals to both children and adults alike. The opera combines a
playful spirit with a serious philosophy of life, incorporates melodies of
ravishing beauty, and features brilliant orchestration, all set against the
background of ancient Egypt.
For over 200 years, this is an opera that has never been
out of repertory, narrating the story of a fearsome sorceress who sings
spectacular high notes, a lovable bird-catcher who gets the opera’s most popular
tunes, a dragon, dancing animals, and two love affairs, a gem that truly has
something for everyone!
These showcases are bound to astound you, featuring
dazzling singers/actors Steve Davislim, Dimitry Ivashchenko, Anna Siminska, Mei Foong Ang, Ker Ker Yeoh, Solomon Chong, Chi Mei Ho, YiLing Chaing, Lauren Snouffer, Yap Jin Hin, Daniel Carison, Chi Hoe Mak and Chee Chuan Seow, and also the
Kuala Lumpur City Opera Chorus.
All concerts will be led by French conductor, Guillaume Tourniaire who is currently
enjoying a meteoric rise onto the international conducting stage. He has
appeared with orchestras in Rome, France, Lisbon, Germany and Seoul. He has led
the productions of Prokofiev’s music for the Eisenstein film Ivan the Terrible;
Mozart’s incidental music for Thamos, King of Egypt; Prokofiev’s cantata Alexander
Nevsky, Martinu’s oratorio Gilgamesh, Janacek’s cantatas Amarus and The Eternal
Gospel, and Bizet’s Carmen.
Be part of an unforgettable musical offering with the
MPO, only at DFP!
