The Magic Flute holds many mysteries and raises many questions.
Ultimately, the answers lie in the charm and sublime beauty of Mozart’s music. Join Ensemble OrQuesta for a production that explores fantasy, reality and duality while giving free rein to wit, knockabout comedy and the dazzling outbursts of the Queen of the Night.
In characteristic style, Ensemble OrQuesta achieves a fusion of inventive physical theatre, starkly poetic imagery, captivating vocal performance and the exhilarating sonorities of period instruments.
Ensemble OrQuesta is a London-based opera company dedicated to historically informed performance of baroque and classical repertoire. Uniting artistic integrity with theatrical vitality, its stylish productions – innovative, dramatically compelling and readily accessible – draw on the talents of emerging and established artists across the UK and Europe.
