There's an awful lot going on visually in Barrie Kosky and Suzanne Andrade's "silent movie" Magic Flute production. From moment to moment, it's attractive and entertaining, but ultimately it is just too much. There's no repose or grandeur on the stage, and those are both significant aspects of the opera. The singers are much too hemmed in by the demands of the production.
