Ponctuelle contributed to the lighting design of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, staged at the Opéra de Marseille in 2019. Co-produced with the Opéra de Nice, Numa Sadoul’s production revisits the tale with humour and fantasy.

The light accompanies the magic of the work and its shifts in atmosphere, supporting the staging and the performers.
