Mozart - Die Zauberflote / Lott, Luxon, Goeke, Sandoz, Conquet, Fryatt, Haitink, Glyndebourne Opera

Glyndebourne’s 1978 production of Zauberflöte received as much critical acclaim for its imaginative sets by David Hockney as for the operatic performance itself. Like the set, John Cox's production of this opera emphasized its magical and mystical qualities. This program was directed for television by Dave Heather, whose skill at bringing out the best of both mediums has been acknowledged by television and music critics alike.
