The Magic Flute in the Temple of Night

ATTENTION! Access to this event through the Lion Gate!

Esteemed audience!

Imagine this: a mysterious grotto, hidden deep within the castle park. A temple from the year 1800, built for mystical rituals and secret ceremonies – the Temple of Night. The flickering light of torches dances on the rock walls, mysterious corridors lead into an underground world... and it is here that it will resonate: Mozart's The Magic Flute.

Yes, you read that correctly. Not in an ordinary theater, but in a grotto with a truly magical atmosphere, Mozart's most famous opera will be performed – in a place that seems perfectly suited for Sarastro's trials, dark secrets, and the quest for wisdom.

The story is well-known – and yet full of riddles:
The young prince Tamino sets out to rescue Pamina. But behind the seemingly simple plot lie trials, secrets, mysteries, and musical wonders that have captivated audiences and scholars alike for over two centuries.

To help you better navigate this enigmatic cosmos, the librettist of the opera himself has announced his presence: Mr. Emanuel Schikaneder will personally appear and recount firsthand how this wonderful collaboration with Mozart came to be – and what secrets may lie behind The Magic Flute.

And that's not all:
Mr. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself will also take a seat at the piano – out of friendship for Mr. Schikaneder and in deep respect for a gracious audience – and will conduct the performance.

An exquisite international ensemble will provide the musical realization, with singers passionately dedicating themselves to the most famous arias in opera history: from the virtuosic bravura of the Queen of the Night to the heartfelt melodies of Tamino and Pamina. Calm and radiant, Sarastro's majestic voice rises from the grotto.
