The Magic Flute: A Film by Kenneth Branagh

ABOUT

Mozart’s classic opera The Magic Flute is breathtakingly transformed in a spectacular new film version conceived and directed by Kenneth Branagh, with a newly-adapted libretto by Stephen Fry. With musical director James Conlon conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the film showcases opera stars René Pape, Tom Randle, Lyubov Petrova, Silvia Moi, Joseph Kaiser and Amy Carson in a romantic adventure story of humanity and fellowship, weaving drama with comedy. Branagh “…brings magic and a new life to Mozart.” (Classic FM) A perennial favorite for generations of opera-goers this production is a visually extraordinary cinematic experience that the LA Times called “exuberant!”
