Most applause was given Friday night at the Grand Festival Hall for the Russian coloratura soprano Albina Shagimuratova as Queen of the night, Christiane Karg in Pamina as well as Constantinos Carydis, the first Greek orchestra conductor on the podium of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The baritone Matthias Goerne was falsely interpreted as Sarastro, and the Swiss tenor Mauro Peter as Tamino was not really convincing.
In addition to the rather lukewarm applause, the executive team led by American director Lydia Steier is also touted. She had staged the magical act of the "Magic Flute" in the run up to the First World War and supported the latest test of lovers Tamino and Pamina, the famous fire and water sample, with images of battlefields. Otherwise, it offered opulent theatrical material in the circus environment, which often put the music in the background.
Theresa May in the audience
Mozart's Magic Flute is the only one in the world. one of the best-known and most-performed operas in the history of music. Among the guests of the premiere were many celebrities, including Austrian Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Four new opera productions are planned for the festival this year. These include Richard Strauss' Salome and Peter Tchaikovsky's Pique Dame.
