Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha
In the Lied genre, soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, born in 1993, won the Song Prize at the prestigious BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition 2021 and was subsequently acclaimed by audiences and critics at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden as Liù in "Turandot" and at the Theater Bern, where she was an ensemble member for two seasons, as Mathilde in "Guillaume Tell" and in the title role of "Iphigénie en Tauride". In addition to her outstanding voice, her refreshingly unpretentious character makes this likeable artist a new rising star in the classical music firmament.

The Magic Flute
W. A. Mozart
W. A. Mozart
W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) created a piece of music history with this unique stage work, which since its premiere in September 1791 has become one of the most popular and most performed operas worldwide.
When the theater and bon vivant Emanuel Schickaneder approached the financially and psychologically troubled composer in 1790 and presented him with a fairy-tale libretto, Mozart was immediately taken with it and added the masonic ideals and rites that were fashionable at the time. These gave the “Magic Flute” a completely different meaning and transformed the piece from a colorful magic pose into an almost testamentary appeal to humanity - entirely in the style of the spirit of the Viennese Classicism. Musically, this great German opera or Singspiel unites different styles such as opera seria, opera buffa and tragédie lyrique. Mozart’s genius united the French romance, the Italian aria and the German Lied to a fascinating kaleidoscope that inspires young and old alike. Popular arias from the "Magic Flute" such as “The Birdcatcher I am”, “Hell’s Revenge is boiling in my Heart”, or “This Portrait is Enchantingly Beautiful” are easily accessible to everyone. Goethe attested that this music alone would have provided a worthy accompaniment to his Faust.
