Mit Mozarts Meisterwerk „Die Zauberflöte“ in einer unvergesslichen Freilicht-Inszenierung des Mainfranken Theaters Würzburg von Regisseur Andreas Wiedermann erleben Sie eine der populärsten Opern – ein absolutes Highlight gleich zu Beginn!

„So eine Flöte ist mehr als Gold und Kronen wert.“ – „Die Zauberflöte“ umfasst alle Aspekte des Lebens und wird zur großen Parabel des Menschseins. Sie verbindet praktische Lebensweisheit mit hoher Philosophie und die Leichtigkeit des Seins mit den Existenzkrisen der menschlichen Seele. Ihre Beliebtheit verdankt sie vor allem ihrem märchenhaften, volkstheaternahen und gleichzeitig tiefgehenden Inhalt, den spektakulären Bühnenverwandlungen und natürlich der herrlichen Musik Mozarts, aber auch der liebevollen, zutiefst menschlichen Zeichnung der Figuren: Da ist Tamino, ein verträumter Prinz, auf der Flucht vor einem Ungeheuer. Drei Damen retten ihm das Leben. Mehr noch, sie zeigen ihm das Bildnis Paminas – Tochter der sternflammenden Königin der Nacht mit ihren halsbrecherischen Koloraturen. Augenblicklich erwacht in Tamino die Liebe zu jener Prinzessin, die es aus den Fängen Sarastros – Gegenspieler der rachsüchtigen Königin – zu befreien gilt. Und dann ist da noch der lustige Vogelfänger Papageno – Vogelhändler in Diensten der Königin. Mit Papageno an seiner Seite, mit Zauberflöte und Glockenspiel im Gepäck, begibt sich Tamino auf eine Prüfungsreise, um Pamina zu gewinnen. Drei Knaben begleiten die beiden. Schnell wird klar, dass eben nicht klar ist, wer gut und wer böse ist, ehe am Ende die Stärke siegt. „Sie krönet zum Lohn die Schönheit und Weisheit mit ewiger Kron‘!“ Fröhliches und tief zu Herzen Gehendes, Weihevolles, Magisches und Dramatisches verbinden sich in der „Zauberflöte“ zu einem an Farbigkeit nicht zu überbietenden Tableau!

With Mozart's masterpiece "The Magic Flute" in an unforgettable open-air production of the Mainfranken Theater Würzburg by director Andreas Wiedermann, you will experience one of the most popular operas - an absolute highlight right at the beginning!

“A flute like this is worth more than gold and crowns.” – “The Magic Flute” encompasses all aspects of life and becomes a great parable of being human. She combines practical wisdom with high philosophy and the lightness of being with the existential crises of the human soul. It owes its popularity above all to its fairytale-like, folk theater-like and at the same time profound content, the spectacular stage transformations and of course the wonderful music of Mozart, but also the loving, deeply human drawing of the characters: There is Tamino, a dreamy prince, on the run from a monster . Three women save his life. What's more, they show him the portrait of Paminas - daughter of the star-flaming Queen of the Night with her breakneck coloraturas. Tamino immediately falls in love with the princess who has to be freed from the clutches of Sarastro, the vengeful queen's opponent. And then there is the funny bird catcher Papageno - bird dealer in the service of the queen. With Papageno at his side, the Magic Flute and the glockenspiel in his luggage, Tamino embarks on a test journey to win over Pamina. Three boys accompany the two. It quickly becomes clear that it is not clear who is good and who is evil before strength prevails in the end. "As a reward, she crowns beauty and wisdom with an eternal crown!" Happy and heartfelt, solemn, magical and dramatic combine in the "Magic Flute" to a tableau that cannot be surpassed in terms of colourfulness! who must be freed from the clutches of Sarastro, the vengeful queen's opponent.
