Campy, playful and funny: Opera Australia finds the joy in The Magic Flute, Mozart’s most-performed opera

Retrieved on: 
Monday, February 5, 2024

The sheer familiarity of The Magic Flute, Mozart’s most-performed opera, can blind one to its inherent oddness.

Key Points: 
  • The sheer familiarity of The Magic Flute, Mozart’s most-performed opera, can blind one to its inherent oddness.
  • Librettist Emanuel Schikaneder has created something that is part allegory, part dream and part fairy tale.

Embracing silliness

  • In the recording I first got to know, Klemperer’s legendary version from 1964, only the sung portions were included.
  • A new production by Kate Gaul for Opera Australia does not shy away from pantomime silliness from the start.
  • The translation by Gaul and Michael Gow has some chortle-worthy lines.
  • “Am I hard of hearing, or is no one volunteering?” sings Papageno as he vainly seeks a woman – any woman – to satisfy his romantic urges.

Campy costumes and an ornamental set

  • It is a relief to hear it in full in this production, directed with sureness of touch by Teresa Riveiro Böhm.
  • The orchestra provides a fulsome sound and crisp articulation over the evening, with just a handful of uncoordinated moments between the pit and stage.
  • Weirdly, Tamino held his on-stage flute up in the air instead of miming, creating an odd disconnect between sight and sound.
  • Outdoing even this for connoisseurs of camp is the late appearance of Papagena (Jennifer Black) in a Brazilian-carnival-style bird costume.
  • Michael Yeargan’s set has a three-sided exterior surrounding grass, with ornamental entrances on each side.

Spell-casting performances

  • But for me, the standout voice belongs to Alleaume, who brings a burnished legato to Pamina’s arias, but also playfulness in the ensembles.
  • Smallwood has a pleasing light lyrical tenor as Tamino – less forceful than some exponents of the role, but tuneful and exemplary in his diction.
  • Breen brings his trademark comic gifts to Monostatos who, like the other villains, is welcomed into the fold at the end.
  • It may not have solved all the conundrums of the work, but at least one gets to appreciate Mozart’s genius uncut.
