Mother’s Day
Recommended by our expert staff
On the 10th of May we celebrate motherhood all over the world. Mother’s Day is a time for each family to show their appreciation and love and therefore MonteVerdi has selected the most beautiful videos which feature all kinds of mothers: from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, who gave her life for her child, to the Queen of the Night from Mozart’s ‘Die Zauberflöte’ who pushes her daughter to the limits to get what she wants. And let’s not forget Johannes Brahms who dedicated the fifth part of his beautiful ‘German Requiem’ to the memory of his beloved mother and the world renowned soprano Anna Netrebko, who just became a mother herself for the first time.

Die Zauberflöte
"The Magic Flute" is Mozart's most popular and beloved opera, and its melodies - from Papageno's folkloric tunes to the Queen of the Night's breathtaking coloraturas - are familiar even among non-listeners of classical music. In this production by Pierre Audi, however, it is the eyes and not the ears that first fall under the spell of this truly magical "Magic Flute." watch the trailer
