Magic opera on a bare stage
The most wondrous of all operas in a celebrated production by the theatre magician Simon McBurney. He brings to life the magic of theatre with deceptively simple means. Openly produced visual projections and sound effects enliven the scenery. Sheets of music transform into birds. The emanating lightness and emotional depth of this production have been celebrated and acclaimed throughout half of Europe. Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann makes her Basel debut as Pamina.
NEW! Instead of a matinée – before the premiere
Shortly before the premiere, during the final rehearsals, we invite you to take a exclusive look behind the scenes. During an initial introduction you will get to know the artistic team and learn more about the production, inspiration and staging. Afterwards you will witness a stage rehearsal.
