What to expect
About this event
I am inviting you to the auditorium of the Cité internationale de la langue française in Villers-Cotterêts, on Tuesday 29 or Wednesday 30 December 2026 at 17:00, for The Magic Flute.
What sets this version apart is that Mozart’s opera is sung in French. Young Prince Tamino is sent by the Queen of the Night to free Pamina, held prisoner by her rival Sarastro. With the bird-catcher Papageno at his side and a magic flute in hand, he must face terrible trials and dispel dark illusions. Between laughter and mystery, Mozart celebrates love, courage and fraternity.
The production is by Renaud Boutin of Labopéra Oise, with seven solo singers and an instrumental ensemble conducted by Takénori Nemoto. The performance lasts two hours and ten minutes, including an interval, and is recommended from age 7.
On Wednesday 30 December at 10:30, the workshop “À vous de chanter !” offers an introduction to operatic singing based on the work.
Tickets cost 10 € at full price and 5 € at the reduced rate (students, jobseekers, people on minimum benefits or AAH, under-26s), through the Cité’s box office.
