Well, an opera is a wonderful kitsch to watch and enjoy while being disgusted by it at the same time. A staged opera is typically a kind of circus done by show-business experts and trained musicians. People cannot expect too much from a staged opera except for watching some good singers sing and breathe nicely.
This was an amazing production. I got to see it live for my birthday, and loved it! The video doesn't do it justice. For those who don't know this opera, it's supposed to be over the top and comical.... it's like the Wizard of Oz of opera.

I've seen so many boring and bland, precious FLUTES in Europe and the USA, gorgeous music ofcourse, and in most cases beautifully sung, so anything funny, over the edge in the way of a production is greatly appreciated. I can well imagine that most of you like Mozart as precious and sweet.... but it just 'aint so'....and this looks like lots of fun. Loosen it up, friends, it's ONLY OPERA.
The two casts feature many exciting debuts, including Marie Arnet, Erin Wall (Pamina), LUbica Vargicova, Albina Shagimuratova (Queen of the Night), Matthew Polenzani, Joseph Kaiser (Tamino), Nathan Gunn, Markus Werba (Papageno), Günther Groissböck, Morris Robinson (Sarastro) and Matthias Goerne (The Speaker).

I thought Queen of the Night with the two bullseye's looked particularly bad. Poor soul to have to wear that for such a beautiful and powerful aria.

It would be nice if we knew who the singers were although I'm pretty sure that's Matthew Polenzani as Tamino
