Die ZauberflöteThe Royal OperaNo. of reviews: 12 | |
Zauberflöte lacks mysticism and magic |
 11 May 13 / Seen and Heard |
This Die Zauberflöte may be fielding its ‘Cast B’, but it’s an ‘A’ team even so |
| 6 May 13 / What's on Stage |
The Royal Opera honours Sir Colin Davis with The Magic Flute |
| 1 May 13 / Musical Criticism |
With such a cast, McVicar's Flute really is Magic |
| 25 Apr 13 / Express |
A very strongly cast and thoroughly enjoyable revival. |
| 23 Apr 13 / Opera Britannia |
Is there a more crowd-pleasing opera than The Magic Flute? |
| 23 Apr 13 / Telegraph |
A fitting operatic memorial to Sir Colin Davis |
| 20 Apr 13 / Seen and Heard |
The highest accolades go to Albina Shagimuratova as the Queen of the Night |
| 19 Apr 13 / Music OMH |
Though musically strong and often visually arresting it is not quite a coherent whole |
| 18 Apr 13 / Classical Source |
Altogether, it’s a fine revival |
| 18 Apr 13 / What's on Stage |
It’s comic, grand and glittering, with great performances all round |
| 18 Apr 13 / Londonist |
Swift and energetic |
