W.A. Mozart

The Magic Flute

8-10 August 2025, Kastelholm Castle

Tickets

Mozart’s The Magic Flute is a fairy tale – but also a drama about the inner struggle of the human soul. Here, the emotions of the night and the reason of the day meet: two forces, equally powerful and utterly opposed.

On one side stands the Queen of the Night, burning with passion, maternal love, and the fire of revenge. She is feeling in its rawest form – when it loves, demands, and mourns. Her music flashes – virtuosic and wild.

On the other side stands Sarastro, the wise leader of the priests. He embodies calm, wisdom, and inner discipline. His music is deep and steady – as if the earth itself were speaking.

Between them stand Tamino and Pamina. They carry both worlds within them – desire and yearning, but also the search for something greater. Their trials teach them that emotion without wisdom can be dangerous, and that reason without love grows cold.

Music becomes the bridge between these opposites. When the flute sounds, the wild beasts are stilled. In song, darkness and light meet, heart and mind – not in conflict, but in harmony.

The Magic Flute is more than an opera. It shows that a person becomes whole only when they reconcile their contradictions – through music, through love, through understanding.
