The world-famous opera in full length and original language for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City, presented by HBSO.
Papageno wants Papagena – Tamino wants Pamina. But there is no easy way to love! Every single protagonist has to pass a difficult exam: they either have to choose between murder and suicide, abstain from meat and drink or even from speaking and singing. The only helpful tool they have got along their dangerous way is a magic flute and a carillon.
The Magic Flute which premiered in Vienna in 1791 is one of the most well-known operas in the world. To this day, first visitors and experienced opera visitors alike are fascinated by the performance. The music was created by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most famous son of the city Salzburg. The actor and writer Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the libretto to The Magic Flute. For the first time now, the opera in two acts will be performed in full length and in original language in Ho-Chi-Minh-City. The opera will be directed by
David Hermann and conducted by
Trần Nhật Minh in a German-Vietnamese cooperation.
