Magic Flute

A Magical “Magic Flute” at the Academia Teatro alla Scala

For the first time ever Teatro alla Scala presents with Mozart’s Zauberflöte a production where orchestra, chorus, soloists as well as outfitters and even the stagehands all consisted out of students of the Academia Teatro alla Scala, the educational institution aimed to train the young talents, founded by the Teatro alla Scala in 2001.
Accompanied by a luxurious team of professionals, consisting of the renowned stage director Peter Stein, his stage designer Ferdinand Wöger and conductor Ádám Fischer, who returns with this production to the podium of the Teatro alla Scala for the first time since 1998, the international youngsters have thus been given the opportunity to introduce themselves to the public in an extremely high level setting.
The result was more than stunning and an instant success, not only with the audience of the ten sold out performances at La Scala, which is famous for its more than critical loggionisti, but also with the television audience, where the live broadcast on Arte reached record breaking viewing rates. According to Die Presse Fischer “gets the best out of the Academy Orchestra with delicate execution and humane phrasing” while the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung praises “the high number of promising young voices”, including the “radiantly brilliant [Egyptian] Newcomer Fatma Said as Pamina and [German] Yasmin Özkan as a flawlessly great Queen of the Night”.
