A passed out Tamino is rescued from a great serpent by the Three Ladies. When Tamino comes to his senses, the bird-catcher Papageno claims to have killed the serpent. The Ladies punish Papageno's lies. They give Tamino a portrait of a beautiful girl, by which he is immediately fascinated. This is Pamina, abducted, he is told, by a wicked magician. The Queen of the Night makes her terrifying appearance, and tells Tamino that he must rescue Pamina, her daughter. The Ladies give Tamino a magic flute and Papageno silver bells for their protection on their quest. "The conductor creates real suspense and excitement with music of effervescence and vitality. Avoiding all obsequiousness as well as sentimentality, leaving enough time for Mozart's heart-tones to calmly unfold and resonate, [conductor Wolfgang] Gonnenwein give this Magic Flute an inner tempo, which leaves no place for portentousness." --Horst Koegler in Opernwelt (Opera world). Andrea Frei, Cornelius Hauptmann, Deon VanDerWalt, Thomas Mohr, Ulrike Sonntag. Director: Axel Manthey
