THE JERUSALEM OPERA PRESENTS:
THE MAGIC FLUTE
An opera in two acts by W. Amadeus Mozart. Libretto: E. Shikaneder (Vienna, 1791)
THE JERUSALEM THEATRE, DECEMBER 28 AND 30, 2017
THE ASHDOD PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE, JANUARY 3, 2018
Prince Tamino has been sent to fight the forces of evil and save Princess Pamina who has been kidnapped from her mother (The Queen of the Night) by the wicked Sarastro. However, it turns out that the opposite is true: the kind and gentle Sarastro is actually protecting the Princess from her sinister and revengeful mother. Tamino learns during the course of his adventures to look upon the secrets of life from a different perspective and overcome the various obstacles put in his way – monsters and fears – with the help of the magic of music which soothes the soul and restores peace to the world. The magical, comic and wondrous combinations and the many different musical styles woven together in Mozart’s masterpiece are sure to please. The Magic Flute is the ultimate example of European culture at its finest, incorporating Mozart’s symbolisms and ideals – brotherhood and the unity of mankind.
What more can be asked from an opera which is forever fresh, merging musical surprises, an entertaining fable and the message of wisdom and humanity?

Support the Jerusalem Opera
The Jerusalem Opera (R.A.) was established in 2011 in order to enrich the cultural landscape of Israel's capital and afford lovers of music in Jerusalem the opportunity to enjoy opera of high quality.
The Jerusalem Opera believes that Jerusalem, a cultural and spiritual hub for centuries, will find the power to once again become a centre for creativity on a global scale, combining cultural strengths, polarities, expressions and heritage, opposing facets that enhance one another.
Mission:
Opera in Jerusalem
Goals:
High quality opera productions in Jerusalem
Concerts featuring selections from operatic repertoire
Jewish vocal music performances
Music outreach and education
Promotion of Jerusalem artists
Activity Outline
Acknowledging that Jerusalem boasts a rich cultural life yet deserves an opera house of its own, the Jerusalem Opera aspires to present three fully staged chamber operas per season, bringing the best of the operatic repertoire as well as Jewish music. With community music outreach and audience development among its goals, it gives preference to talented local artists, providing them a platform, assisting in their development and encouraging original creations.
The Jerusalem Opera has succeeded in producing fully-staged productions of “Don Giovanni” (David’s Citadel) in 2013,
“The Marriage of Figaro” in 2014, “Madame Butterfly” in 2015 and “The Barber of Seville” in 2016, as well as smaller opera performances in Jerusalem and in peripheral areas of Israel. All performances (mostly in the Jerusalem Theater - Sherover Hall and in the Ashdod Performing Arts Center) have been well received by audiences and critics alike.
The Jerusalem Opera is recognized and supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem Foundation, private foundations and donors. We hope to add you to our growing list of supporters!
