Silly btavares!! Mozart would have applauded it!! Opera traditionally has been translated into the "local" language because it sold more tickets. Read the other comments here and poke around online for info - Mozart was all for translating and modifying if it meant more ticket sales. :)

one thing thats always bothered me about this single performance is that the whistle's highest note is sharp! AAAGHHH hahaha

@illinicside My parents went to school with Nathan. *shrug* Not sure if that "beats" what you said, but it's interesting. They said he was a little annoying as a freshman, but a super nice kid and when he sang in school plays he was absolutely FANTASTIC.

Can someone tell me where I can find this rendition.

"My life´s my own so bright and free..."Papgeno is the Mozart alter ego!

I know him personally and I go to school with one of his children beat that people out there!

The mise-en-scene is simply fanastic and innovative. Wolfgang would have enjoyed to see his play being performed with so much pleasure.

@Luindriel Brilliant costume designer! How fun to do something different.

Absolutely beautiful production! I love many versions of the magic flute, but this feels particularly fresh :)

@Xeno8345 Yes, he's wearing a backwards baseball cap... it's an entire baseball catcher outfit. Birdcatcher, baseball catcher... ;) When he jumps off the platform he makes a baseball catcher move as he says he's a birdcatcher. :*)

Nathan Gunn is the sexiest papageno ever. Opera sung in the local language is a fabulous way to get new audiences into opera so they'll want to see it in the original language thus preserving the art form for all of us.

@felicianomusic Thank you for your nice comment on this video. About the language, I mean. We all know about the other thing, lol.
