About
Accompanied by a luxurious team of professionals, consisting of the renowned stage director Peter Stein, stage designer Ferdinand Wöger and conductor Ádám Fischer, Teatro alla Scala presents Mozart’s Zauberflöte. In this production, orchestra, chorus, soloists as well as outfitters all consisted of students of the Academia Teatro alla Scala, the educational institution aimed to train the young talents, founded by the Teatro alla Scala in 2001. The result was stunning – an instant success – with all ten performances selling out at La Scala, which is famous for its extremely critical loggionisti. According to Die Presse, Fischer ‘gets the best out of the Academy Orchestra with delicate execution and humane phrasing’ while the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung praises Fatma Said as Pamina and Yasmin Özkan as the Queen of the Night.

Awards and reviews
August 2017
This is one of those performances which it is easy to criticise on many points, which yet overcomes its faults because it is overall so intensely alive and life-giving…Fischer, perhaps the leading Mozart interpreter of our time, clearly inspires all his players and singers with his extremely idiosyncratic style…Fatma Said’s Pamina…both looks and sounds exquisite, perhaps the best performance of the role I have ever seen.
