Die Zauberflöte

Amazing staging! I've watched several performances through times and this was one of the best! Singing, customs, orchestra, all excelent!

Well organised, professional and awesome

Die Mozarts Zauberflöte im Ständetheater in Prag war ein Genuss und ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art. Die Inszenierung war hervorragend, nicht zu klassisch, aber auch nicht zu modern. Bühnenbild, Maske und Kostüme waren ebenfalls hervorragend. Die Künstler haben die die Oper gut umgesetzt, herauszuheben sind vor allem die Königin der Nacht (Diana Schnürpel), Pamina (Vera Talerko), Sarrastro (Daniel Matousek) und Papageno (Lukas Bafak), was aber nicht die Darstellung und gesanglichen Qualitäten des restlichen Ensembles schmälern soll. Alles in Allem war es ein Fest für Augen und Ohren. Dafür nehme ich gerne die Anfahrt von Deutschland ( Aschaffenburg) in Kauf. Meine Frau und ich waren mit Sicherheit nicht das letzte Mal im Ständetheater in Prag!

That was great

Tout était très bien ! Un seul point à revoir peut-être : les traductions de l'allemand vers le tchèque par le personnage (Mozart ?) allongeaient inutilement le spectacle.

Superb performance! The Mozart character was a little unnecessary.

Wonderful venue , smaller than the larger opera houses in Europe but unbelievably beautiful inside . Excellent performances in the Magic Flute and the Orchestra. Traveling from Australia, well worth the trip.

Really enjoyed opera. Cast and orchestra were excellent.

Excellent production, great vocalists, marvelous opera house!

Great singers, good orchestra. I loved the theater!

It's a MUST classical opera, very well portrayed for Czech and English - speaking people. The actors are wonderful. The only couple of recommendations I could make: do not book in the Estates Theatre a very far away seat from the scenario, since it's true that the visibility is poor (for example, in the other hand, in the National Theatre, the visibility is good even the announcement of "poor visibility") and for people who are not used to see operas: read BEFORE going there the plot of the play since it is very complicated to understand it by the play itself.

Thoroughly enjoyed the opera and the orchestra!

Great opera! Wonderful sopranos and actors.

Everything was wonderful. Beautiful sets and costumes, and the music was lovely. This was our first time in the Estates Theater and it is a perfect venue. We are looking forward to another performance there on Sunday.

Excellent production beautifully staged and performed.

Beautiful imaginative production - singers, orchestra, and stage design. Could not fault it.

Easily one of the strangest productions of any opera that I have ever seen before in my life. Amount of visual pollution in the production was beyond words. With every single performance being upstaged by scenery, background movement, and extras drawing attention away from what the audience should be paying attention to. I would avoid this opera at all cost. As a season subscriber, I am even more disappointed if I didn't support this company and this venue, I would have asked for a refund.

This was a superb performance of the Magic Flute - beautifully sung, inventively staged, with very fine playing from the orchestra. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Superb performance of one of the greatest operas Singers excellent Orchestra outstanding Staging a trifle baffling

Great performance by all the cast

Ma 10e « Flûte «  ! La première - en 1957 ! J’ai adoré et j’ai été bouleversée par l’excellent Mozart - acteur shakespearien qui arrache les larmes d’émotions!!’ Bravo à lui ! Il remet en place le condescendant Forman dans son Amadeus ! Et évidemment à tous - musiciens et chanteurs. Bravo !

Une très belle interprétation de la flûte enchantée dans un théâtre chargé de légendes avec des décors et une mise en scène époustouflante. Je recommande vivement

The music, the singers, costumes and decoration were really first class

Interprétation excellente.

Excellents chanters, bonne mise en scene Bravo

Well staged and great individual performances.

Cette production a été un grand succès, une mise en scène fantasque. Bonne utilistation de l'éspace scénique, et l'orchestre et les chanteurs en pleine forme. Puis la magie de cette oeuvre est quasiment spirituelle.

Le théâtre, les musiciens, la mise en scène, les voix, les comédiens m'ont fait participer à un des plus beau spectacle de ma vie. Je rêvais de cette expérience et je n'ai pas été déçue mais enchantée.

Love the theatre. It's beautiful, historic and very well looked after. Drinks and food for the intermission very well run too, which rounded out the experience of the venue. The set design was excellent, the staging great. The performances were even better. Especially the Queen of the Night. In terms of the direction, the inclusion of the Czech narrator was a little odd, but I quite liked it :-)

I would have rated it excellent except for one thing which I'll get to later. What a superb production! Orchestra, singers, art design - perfect! One thing that really annoyed me throughout was the stupid and utterly addition of a character who is not in the libretto. His annoying interruptions of dialogue are not in the libretto. He performed stupid antics distracting from and upstaging the otherwise excellent performers. I don't know whose idea it was, but it was a very very bad idea. I like opera performances to RESPECT the composer and librettist. Not add stupid and self-indulgent elements that serve only as ego trips by the director.

The Magic Flute was beautifully staged. The theater alone is worth a visit.

Good performance! Recitatives bit adjusted for this time...

Magical night . Best location, best timing , best theater. In love with the magic of Prague and Mozart.

Production moyenne trop compliquée et interprètes aux voix moyennes. Sentiment d’ennui

Beautiful singing, music, mis en scène. The role of Mozart was well thought of. During the performance the artists became beter and beter. We enjoyed it very mocht.

MAGNIFIQUE OPERA, non moins magnifiquement interprété, là ou mozart a représenté don juan pour la premiere fois; mythique.

Très belle mise en scène mettant en valeur la belle musique de Mozart.

Excellente mise en scène, excellente interprétation, orchestre et acteurs.

Encore un moment magique dans ce lieu mythique. Que du bonheur.

Tres bon service,vius pouvez preciser l etat des places,en fait meme sur les côtés la vision est bonne.lesplace derrière de face ne sont sûrement pas meilleur

Stunning version of the magic Flute. Beautiful performance and amazing music by the orchestra!!!
