Right in the middle – pick your favourite spot in the midst of the orchestra! The musicians of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin will rearrange themselves for you. Experience music where it is created and feel the special atmosphere that arises between the orchestral members and our conductor while making music. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask Iván Fischer questions. In the end, you will definitely be able to say: I was right in the thick of things, not just on the sidelines.
Mozart's “Magic Flute” is a masterpiece of the 18th century that reflects the moral concepts of the time with regard to the roles of men and women. Iván Fischer wants to confront parts of this favorite opera with 21st century values. He concentrates on well-known arias and scenes: Reversed gender roles of central characters invite an unexpected new listening experience as well as reflection. For example, a King of the Night, interpreted by the outstanding countertenor Samuel Mariño, appears as the antagonist of the powerful Sarastra, sung by Deniz Uzun. Iván Fischer also plays with the music itself, for example when he has the famous overture performed not only by the Konzerthausorchester but also by the Vocalconsort Berlin.
