After Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Freely adapted by
Peter Brook, Franck Krawczyk and Marie-Hélène Estienne


"Absolutely bewitching" The Independent

"A strangely beautiful and moving piece of theatre" Telegraph.co.uk


Visionary director Peter Brook reimagines Mozart's The Magic Flute with his long-term collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne. The result is A Magic Flute, an opera of clarity, simplicity and purity that seeks out the truth of the original. Nine singers and actors along with a glorious piano accompaniment produce a musical comedy that perfectly realises Brook's ambition: to create "a light effervescent Flute, where an intimacy with the performers [allows] the tenderness and the depth of the score to appear".

A Magic Flute won France's prestigious Molière Award for Best Musical Theatre in 2011, and played to packed houses in Europe as well as North and South America.

法國北方布夫劇場 - 彼得 ‧ 布祿克的《魔笛》
2012年3月1日 - 3月3日
香港演藝學院歌劇院
http://www.hk.artsfestival.org/tc/prog/11

縱橫世界舞台近七十年的彼得．布祿克畢生鍾情莫扎特歌劇，繼1998年執導《唐．喬望尼》後，2010年終以純真自然的《魔笛》，告別他領導了36年的法國北方布夫劇場，­旋即贏得2011年度法國莫里哀獎最佳音樂劇場獎。在歌劇之都米蘭演出26場後，更是載譽加演兩周，一票難求。

布祿克的《魔笛》晶瑩剔透，親切動人，由作曲家 Franck Krawczyk 以鋼琴重編音樂，九名演員及歌手演出。莫扎特的《魔笛》添上新裝，但神韻依舊，戲劇語言、演員對白與歌曲渾然天成，平白流暢。自1981年的《卡門悲歌》開始，布祿克以近­十年一部的速度，以獨特的戲劇理念把傳統的歌劇重塑。他用親密輕盈的舞台空間，和年輕演員的詩意表演，讓莫扎特傳唱二百多年的經典更添新意。
