Trivia:
In the final shot, a wire was rigged in order to hold the wooden flute out of frame after it had been thrown into the air by Joseph Kaiser. However, on the first run the wire snapped and the flute fell and hit Amy Carson on the head. Carson sat down for a moment to compose herself before the shot was attempted again - this time with Kaiser dropping the flute out of frame before pretending to throw it. moreSoundtrack:

I think it's sad that this movie got such a low IMDb grade. I just wanted to say that this film is not for people who has an abc list of criteria each film has to fulfill to be a "good" film.
I do not watch much TV and film, and it's getting even less as I've started to work in the business myself.
This movie is for people like me, who've seen enough to see they need something different. AND it's for Magic Flute fans. I you don't like things being different or Mozart, you won't like this film either.
But IF you like Mozart and things that are different (call it "original" if you'd like). Then this is a MUST SEE. Branaugh has captured ALL the important details i this movie, and by IMPORTANT I don't mean whether the coloratura can hit the F sharp in a special way. I mean captured the true FEEL of the original play.
The libretto is silly and full of love, so is this movie. I've seen so many different versions of the opera, but only in this film have I seen truly fitting singers in the different roles. Most casts have a dull Tamino -> in this he's brilliant. Pamina is brilliant. Papageno is brilliant.
Mozart would be proud of himself and the performers and Branaugh if he'd watched it. Congratulations!
