''The Magic Flute'' ((スウェーデン語:Trollflöjten)) is Ingmar Bergman's 1975 film version of Mozart's opera ''Die Zauberflöte''. It was intended as a television production and was first shown on Swedish television on 1 January 1975, but was followed by a cinema release later that year. The film was shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: ''The Magic Flute'' )〕 The film is notable as the first made-for-television film (and filmed in then-standard 1:1.33 television aspect ratio) with a stereo soundtrack.〔(Peter Cowie's essay on ''The Magic Flute'' film on criterian.com ) Retrieved 12 November 2012〕 ==Background== Bergman first saw the Mozart opera at the Royal Opera in Stockholm when he was 12 and hoped then to recreate it in his marionette theatre at home.〔 ''The Magic Flute'' remained a love for him throughout his life, and at one stage he hoped to direct a production at the Malmö City Theater.〔 During the 1960s Magnus Enhörning, head of the Swedish Radio, asked Bergman for possible projects and the director replied "I want to do ''The Magic Flute'' for television". Enhörning readily agreed and supported the project without hesitation.〔 The characters of Frid and Petra in Bergman's 1955 film ''Smiles of a Summer Night'', and Johan and Alma in his ''Hour of the Wolf'' (1968) pre-figure his conception of Papageno and Papagena, and Tamino and Pamina respectively in ''The Magic Flute''.〔 The latter film includes a puppet-theatre sequence of part of Act 1 of the opera.〔 Bergman changed certain details from the plot of the opera; Sarastro is Pamina's father, trios in Act 2 are omitted and "Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen" (or, "En god och trogen maka" in Swedish) is sung by Papageno before he sees Papagena. Instead of his usual plumage of feathers, Papageno wears conventional clothing.〔Evidon, Richard. Bergman and 'The Magic Flute'. ''The Musical Times'', Vol. 117, No. 1596 (February 1976), pp. 130-131.〕 Bergman also draws a parallel between Sarastro and Amfortas in ''Parsifal'' (at one point he is seen studying Wagner's score).〔 For a conductor Bergman asked his friend Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, but he flatly refused. The renowned choir conductor Eric Ericson also declined at first but was later persuaded by Bergman to take it on.〔(The Magic Flute - Mozart's opera set in a mock-up version of the Drottningholm Theatre; ) from Bergman web-page, accessed 10 January 2014.〕 The film had its first screening in the old barn at Bergman's house on Fårö (which had just been transformed into a cinema) one August evening in 1974.〔(The three o’clock rite: Ingmar Bergman’s home cinema ) accessed 10 January 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Magic Flute (1975 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
