Die Zauberflöte

In the organizer's words:

Clear the ring! Here comes the Magic Flute!

Wait, what?! Ring? Isn't that an opera?
Yes and no! With all due respect to Mozart and Schikaneder, Lukas Schrenk and Nils Strunk have taken the 200-year-old hits and given them a wide variety of styles. Suddenly the "Magic Flute" sounds like Falco, Queen, the Beatles or Adele. The story is the same, well almost, and has lost none of its thematic diversity. On the contrary. Because love, friendship and the smell of popcorn in your nose are still some of the best things in life today!

Leonard Dick and Andrej Agranovski are restaging the Burgtheater's success in their own style and with a new stage design by Alex Gahr. Here, magic is written in capital letters in the title and with Stefan Siebert, a new member of the ensemble and trained magician, they have the right man for the job.
With a lot of feeling and humor, they attach great importance to the right rhythm, and not just in the music.

"The tricks are performed throughout the evening, always well done, always surprising. [...] We enjoy very good actors, also and especially in the singing, and a new look at the well-known play." - Deutsche Bühne (01.11.24)

"The revolving [...] circus ring constantly opens up new, colorful fairground booths, in which the action is driven forward with popcorn and pop music [...] [and] leads both into a fairytale world and into the typical conflicts of today. [...] The production by Leonard Dick and Andrej Agranovski is a lively spectacle with enchanting gags that is a must-see." - NGZ (29.09.24)
