Mozart and Mario would possibly sound actually related in title, however they do not have too many different similarities — apart from that one time that Mozart was in a little-known SNES/NES recreation referred to as Mario’s Time Machine, however let’s not fear about that for now.
Our level is that you must be fairly darn artistic to mash the 2 up into an opera, however that is simply what the LA-based Pacific Opera Venture has carried out with their retelling of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute — or as they’re calling it, #Superflute.
POP is a gaggle making an attempt to offer “high quality opera that’s accessible, reasonably priced, and entertaining”, and as a part of that purpose, they’ve carried out mash-ups earlier than — Mozart and Star Trek, Mozart and Scarface, even Mozart and COVID. They final carried out a Nintendo-flavoured Magic Flute in 2019, which featured characters like Mega Man, Donkey Kong, Wario, Zelda, and Pit from Child Icarus.
This is what the director needed to say on the time concerning the present (from LAist):
“[The theme] simply lined up so properly, as a result of you’ve gotten Tamino within the Magic Flute, who’s all about occurring quests, and looking for his princess, Pamina — and that’s Zelda and Hyperlink precisely. After which you’ve gotten Mario, who’s a coin collector — Papageno’s a chicken collector, so it is a fairly shut correlation there.”
If that is even half nearly as good as that one Nintendo-themed burlesque present we went to ages in the past, we’re reserving tickets to LA sharpish. And for those who’re already in LA — you should buy tickets proper right here.
