THE MAGIC FLUTE – THE LEGACY OF MOZART’S MASTERPIECE FEATURING LARISSA SIRAH HERDEN CELEBRATES ITS GERMAN PREMIERE AT MUNICH’S GÄRTNERPLATZTHEATER

Mozart’s The Magic Flute was performed for the very first time in 1791. Now, over 230 years later, a remarkable new cinematic adaptation of his most beloved opera celebrates its German premiere on November 7, 2022, at Munich’s historic Gärtnerplatztheater.
With The Magic Flute – The Legacy of Mozart’s Masterpiece, director Florian Sigl makes his feature debut, bringing a fresh, imaginative reinterpretation of the timeless classic. The film masterfully blends Mozart’s iconic music with a modern narrative full of magic, adventure, and emotion.

Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Tim, a vocal student at a prestigious Mozart boarding school in the Austrian Alps, stumbles upon a centuries-old secret portal that transports him into the fantastical world of The Magic Flute. There, assuming the role of Prince Tamino, he teams up with the charming bird-catcher Papageno and embarks on nightly adventures to rescue Princess Pamina from the clutches of the powerful Sarastro.
Meanwhile, Tim’s daytime life is just as eventful: he’s determined to win the lead role of Tamino in the school’s annual production of The Magic Flute — all while navigating his feelings for the confident and captivating Sophie, who turns his world upside down.
