Die Zauberflöte (Prague Summer Nights)

About

Prague Summer Nights Festival Orchestra
Prague Summer Nights Festival Opera Company

The Prague Summer Nights Young Artists Music Festival presents a fully staged production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the historic Estates Theatre. Sung in German with Czech and English surtitles, this magical opera journey follows Prince Tamino, Pamina, and Papageno through a world of mystery, trial, wisdom, and wonder. Conducted by Sahar Nouri and directed by Garnett Bruce, the production features the young artists of Prague Summer Nights and the PSN Orchestra in one of Mozart’s most beloved and imaginative theatrical works.

The Estates Theatre is globally unique as the one and only preserved and still functional venue where a world premiere of a Mozart opera took place with the composer himself conducting. The world premiere of Don Giovanni on 29 October 1787 was a tremendous success and from Prague the new opera set out on its journey to global acclaim and admiration.

The performances were made possible through the support of the Opera of the National Theatre who provided sets and costumes.
