Exciting Collaboration: Opera Hong Kong to Unveil Shuang Zou's Vision of 'The Magic Flute'!

Opera enthusiasts, get ready for a unique theatrical experience this May! Opera Hong Kong is thrilled to announce its upcoming presentation of Mozart's timeless classic, "The Magic Flute." This production promises to be a remarkable collaboration, with the esteemed China National Opera House and the State Opera South Australia joining forces to bring this enchanting opera to life.

Renowned director Shuang Zou will lead an impressive cast, including Andrés Moreno García, Sofia Troncoso, John Chest, and Aigul Khismatullina. Musical maestro Dane Lam will be conducting the orchestra, while the talented Dan Potra will dazzle audiences with his stage and costume designs.

What sets this rendition apart? Director Shuang Zou revealed, "It was a very easy choice from the beginning for us to step away from the many freemasonry references due to the richness of eastern mythological philosophies. Concepts such as the non-dual aspects of the self-awakening process, the idea that truth is found from within, and the importance of faith and compassion in the search for love and truth – all of these are right there in the story."

Zou's innovative approach takes the characters on a transformative journey into the depths of Eastern philosophies, promising to offer a fresh perspective on this beloved opera and engage audiences in a profound exploration of its themes.

With the combination of rich storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and a world-class cast and crew, Opera Hong Kong's "The Magic Flute" is not to be missed! Mark your calendars and prepare to be captivated by this extraordinary artistic event.

Stay tuned for more updates as the premiere date approaches!
