The Magic Flute (1975 Film)
''The Magic Flute'' ( sv, Trollflöjten) is Ingmar Bergman's 1975 film version of Mozart's opera ''Die Zauberflöte''. It was intended as a television production and was first shown on Swedish television on 1 January 1975, but was followed by a cinema release later that year. The work is widely viewed as one of the most successful films of an opera ever made, and as an unusual item among the director's works. The film won BAFTA TV Award for '' Best Foreign Television Programme'' in 1976 and was nominated for Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Background The film's inception is rooted in Bergman's youth. He first saw ''The Magic Flute'' at the Royal Opera in Stockholm when he was 12 and hoped then to recreate it in his marionette theatre at home; he could not do so because he could not afford the cost of a recording. Also while still a child, he serendipitously discovered the Baroque theater that served as the inspiration for his much-later production: As a boy I loved ...
