BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Penny Gore presents Peter von Winter's The Labyrinth, a 1790s sequel to The Magic Flute.

Penny Gore presents a performance of Peter von Winter's The Labyrinth, a 1790s sequel to The Magic Flute and with a text by Mozart's librettist Schikaneder.

Penny Gore presents Peter von Winter's The Labyrinth, a 1790s sequel to The Magic Flute. This rare performance was given in the open air at the Salzburg Festival where it was mounted to commemorate the death two hundred years ago of Mozart's librettist Emanuel Schikaneder. It was he who provided the libretto for, and also directed, the early performances of Winter's 'heroic comedy' - a work complete with High Priests, a Queen of the Night, a spectacular battle with the elements, a glockenspiel and, of course, a jolly bird catcher.
