The Magic Flute, staged by Rolando Villazón

2026 is a Mozart year with two major anniversaries: Wolfgang Amadé Mozart celebrates his 270th birthday and the world’s most important Mozart festival, the Salzburg Mozart Week, celebrates its 70th anniversary. The International Mozarteum Foundation is celebrating these special occasions with a new production of Mozart’s opera ‘The Magic Flute’, staged by Artistic Director Rolando Villazón. Roberto González-Monjas conducts the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg.

The three divisions of the Mozarteum Foundation, the artistic division, the museums and the scientific division, are jointly responsible for this large-scale project: the scientific director of the Mozarteum Foundation Ulrich Leisinger is in charge of the dramaturgy of the new production, the director of the Mozart Museums Linus Klumpner is advising the production and developing various special exhibitions in the two museums for the anniversary year. The Mozarteum Foundation’s unrivalled global expertise is thus particularly present in the anniversary year and accessible to the public like never before.

Roberto González-Monjas, Chief Conductor of the Mozarteumrorchester, leads a dynamic ensemble of singers with some of the leading interpreters of their roles of our time: Kathryn Lewek is a globally acclaimed Queen of the Night, Franz-Josef Selig a legendary Sarastro. The young soprano Emily Pogorelc has already thrilled audiences as Pamina at the Metropolitan Opera New York and the Bavarian State Opera, among others, while the young tenor Magnus Dietrich also sings Tamino at the Berlin State Opera and the Semperoper Dresden.
