The Magic Flute, The sequel : The curse

Who knew that Goethe had written a script for a sequel to Mozart’s The Magic Flute? Jean-Luc Choplin had the idea of giving Damon Albarn, with whom he had already worked at the Théâtre du Châtelet (Monkey: Journey to the West and wonder.land), the task of writing a score based on a libretto after Goethe by Jeremy Sams.

A series of concerts of this electro-pop score featuring the characters of the Queen of the Night, Pamina and Papageno.
