DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Consciously, the production eludes the countless interpretations that the work has undergone in its more than two-hundred-year history. The Lindau Magic Flute is set in a fairytale land. And not just because the fairytale genre deliberately employs logic breaks and paradoxes to enchant in the truest sense. Every viewer may and should find and invent their own story in the Magic Flute.

STAGE HISTORY
The world premiere took place on September 30, 1791, at the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden - a suburban Viennese stage. Still in October 1791, the Magic Flute had nearly twenty performances, and in the following months it remained successfully on the program of the Viennese stage. A year later, on October 25, 1792, it was performed with great success in Prague, followed by performances in Munich, in 1793 in Frankfurt a. M., and finally in 1794 in Berlin and Weimar.
