Die Zauberflöte
“I’ve never laughed so much nor been so moved by a Zauberflöte until Simon McBurney’s where even its Busby Berkeley-flavored finale brought tears to my eyes.”

The week in classical: La traviata; Debussy festival; Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons: A Reimagining – review
[…] a loss of beauty and vitality, and the approach of death. It’s the production’s strongest scene (eerily and strikingly spotlit by lighting designer Charles Balfour), when ideas gradually edge together. We’ve already had Violetta’s lover, Alfredo, busy with his potted plants in Act 2. All flesh is grass. In our beginning is our end. The message is clear. It’s one in a tangle of metaphors and references in an evening seething with them, from 1930s Busby Berkeley monochrome to camp cabaret, French photographic eroticism and far more. It’s not shocking or implausible. Why didn’t it work?
