The play The Magic Flute has been staged with unfailing success at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theater for a decade and a half. Mozart's singspiel is performed in Russian. And this is justified: in addition to musical numbers, the opera has a lot of conversational dialogues, and it is much easier to delve into the twists and turns of the plot, understanding every word. This is not a departure from the original, but, on the contrary, in a certain sense, an approximation to it, because the masterpiece created by Mozart and Schikaneder more than two centuries ago was quite democratic. In the theater Auf der Wieden, where the premiere of The Magic Flute took place, foreign operas were also translated into a language understandable to everyone - German.

It is precisely the democratic nature and chamber "coziness" of the Mariinsky's "Magic Flute" in combination with the high performing skills of the musicians that give the production a special charm. Singers can find themselves literally at arm's length from the audience, and the audience, even the smallest ones, can find themselves in the thick of things right on the stage.

Most children from around the age of eight do not just “endure” three hours of The Magic Flute in the hall, but carefully follow what is happening. No wonder: after all, on the stage, there are three mysterious ladies in black, then three amazing boys in white, then a dragon, then a lion, then a beauty in a white dress with an umbrella, then some suspiciously “fake” old woman, then a storm with thunder and lightning, then a solemn ceremony ... And adult viewers can appreciate the deep philosophical background of a fairy tale, and the magnificence of its music.

English

Спектакль «Волшебная флейта» уже полтора десятилетия с неизменным успехом идет в Концертном зале Мариинского театра. Моцартовский зингшпиль исполняется на русском языке. И это оправданно: помимо музыкальных номеров, в опере множество разговорных диалогов, и вникать в сюжетные перипетии гораздо легче, понимая каждое слово. Это не уход от оригинала, а, наоборот, в определенном смысле приближение к нему, ведь шедевр, созданный Моцартом и Шиканедером два с лишним столетия назад, был вполне демократичным. В театре Ауф дер Виден, где состоялась премьера «Волшебной флейты», иностранные оперы тоже шли в переводе на понятный всем – немецкий – язык.

Именно демократичность, камерная «уютность» мариинской «Волшебной флейты» в сочетании с высоким исполнительским мастерством музыкантов придают постановке особое очарование. Певцы могут очутиться буквально на расстоянии вытянутой руки от публики, а зрители, даже самые маленькие, – оказаться в гуще событий прямо на сцене.

Большинство детей примерно с восьми лет не просто «выдерживают» три часа «Волшебной флейты» в зале, а внимательно следят за происходящим. Еще бы: ведь там, на сцене, то три загадочные дамы в черном, то три удивительных мальчика в белом, то дракон, то лев, то красавица в белом платье с зонтиком, то какая-то подозрительно «ненастоящая» старуха, то буря с громом и молнией, то торжественная церемония… А взрослые зрители могут оценить и глубокую философскую подоплеку волшебной сказки, и великолепие ее музыки.
