It is always interesting to see artists perform a radically different role than the kind they usually play. Game of Thrones had a host of amazing villainous characters. Amongst them, Iwan Rheon’s Ramsay Bolton stands out as the most sadistic and cruel one. He will now play a completely different character in The Magic Flute.
A modern retelling of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s popular opera of the same name, the movie will also feature The Witcher actor Jack Wolfe, His Dark Materials star Amir Wilson and Asha Banks. The movie is currently in production in Munich, Germany.
Some of the world’s most renowned opera stars will also star in the movie. They include French soprano Sabine Devieilhe, Mexican-French tenor Rolando Villazon and US bass Morris Robinson.
Florian Sigl is directing the movie. The film set in present-day Europe. A 17-year-old singer Tim Walker (Wolfe) travels from London to the Austrian Alps to attend the legendary Mozart boarding school. There, he discovers a centuries-old forgotten passageway into the fantastic world of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.
Wolfe will also play the role of Prince Tamino in the movie. Rheon will feature as the beloved bird-catcher Papageno. Banks will essay the role of Princess Pamina. Wilson will portray Tim’s rival and son of opera star Enrico Milanesi.
