The Film Fund of the state of Salzburg supported the film and played a crucial role in making it a reality. In addition to financial support, Edith Urban from Filmlocation Salzburg at Innovation Salzburg also provided advice and assistance: “I first came into contact with the film project in 2018. Since then, we at Filmlocation Salzburg have been accompanying the film. The significance for the film location Salzburg is great, as it has been sold to cinemas worldwide. We show the world that Salzburg is the music capital and also offers extraordinary filming locations with the breathtaking scenery of the city and the state of Salzburg.”<\/p>\n
The city and state of Salzburg also provided the perfect film location. Locations used included the Schloss Leopoldskron, Burg Hohenwerfen, the city of Salzburg, and the Gastein train station. “The Magic Flute” premiered in Austria for the first time on Thursday, November 10th 2023, in Salzburg.<\/p>\n
Producers Christopher Zwickler and blockbuster specialist Roland Emmerich were able to attract a high-caliber cast for the film. Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon plays Papageno, while Oscar winner Fahrid Murray Abraham takes on the role of the school principal. The young cast also shines, with Jack Wolfe as Prince Tamino and Asha Banks as Princess Pamina. Opera stars Rolando Villaz\u00f3n, Morris Robinson, and Sabine Devieilhe ensure that even opera purists will enjoy the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
