Lincoln Center Bound MAGIC FLUTE Wins 2011 Moliere Award
by Nicole Rosky - May 03, 2011
A Magic Flute, Peter Brook's production with the acclaimed Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, was awarded France's esteemed Molière Award for best musical theater at a ceremony on Sunday, April 17 in Paris. Lincoln Center Festival 2011 will present the U.S. Premiere of A Magic Flute, an intimate 90-minute, fully-staged adaptation of the beloved Mozart opera, in sixteen performances July 5-17 at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater. Like his ground-breaking La Tragédie de Carmen (which was performed in New York at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in 1983), Brook's free interpretation of The Magic Flute, performed by an ensemble of two actors and alternating casts of seven singers with pianist, is a poetic invocation with its spare and subtle staging shedding new, vibrating light on Mozart's masterpiece.
