Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-Opera Die Zauberfl?te

Date: Sept 10-12－7:30 pm

Venue: Shanghai Grand Theater

Price: 80-280 yuan

Since the construction in 1892, the Komische Oper Berlin has at various times been a consistent international trend-setter in the world of musical theater. As the leading theater for operettas and revues in the 1920s, it fundamentally shaped the Berlin, and hence international, entertainment scene. Mozart's masterful comedy is richly reimagined in a boundary-busting production created by director Barrie Kosky and British theater group 1927, blending animated film and live action in a spectacular kaleidoscope of 1920s silent movies, Weimar cabaret, the dark humor of Edward Gorey and German expressionism.
