Albina Shagimuratova launches the new year with a company debut to an old favorite in terms of both opera and company with Die Zauberflöte at the Opéra national de Paris.
Encoring her signature role of Königin der Nacht in Mozart’s masonic singspiel, the Russian soprano stars in Robert Carsen’s production, conducted by Henrik Nánási.
Albina sings opposite Stanislas de Barbeyrac as Tamino, René Pape as Sarastro, Michael Volle as Papageno, and Nadine Sierra as Pamina. Legendary bass-baritone José van Dam is also seen as the Speaker.
