The Magic Flute at Oper im Steinbruch 2019

W. A. Mozart’s "Magic Flute" is the focus of this year’s "Opera in the Quarry".

Max Simonischek makes his opera debut as Papageno in this performance of Mozart’s “Magic Flute”. Husband and wife team Carolin Pienkos and Cornelius Obonya will also be directing their first performance on this impressive open-air stage in the former Roman quarry. The unique backdrop of the St. Margarethen quarry offers a spectacular yet magical backdrop for Mozart's parable on love and reason.
