Movie Reviews of Mozart - Die Zauberflote
Movie Review: Well performed, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excellent traditional performance. It is traditional in staging as well as singing, but it isn't a patch on the marvellous Colin Davis interpretation, where Simon Keenlyside's total performance and Diana Damrau's singing take the opera to unusual heights. Some of the high tech effects are quite good, the birds flying into Papageno's basket, for example.
I have trouble with this opera, speaking as a dark-skinned woman. The opera is openly misogynistic, and I have learned to suppress my knee-jerk reaction to this, but I am rather annoyed that in this production, Monastatos is portrayed as a black man with rather simian features. It seems quite unnecessary to the plot. That gives a racist overlay to a sexist opera! I could be over-reacting.
