Last fall in 2009, Atlanta Ballet opened the season with the production of Mark Godden’s “The Magic Flute”. Originally made as an opera, the Atlanta Ballet gracefully danced across the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center stage, as Godden’s exciting and open movement style blended with the beauty of Mozart’s music. With guest artist, Jeff Holland Cook, conducting the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra along with a company of noted vocal soloists, the show was showered with rave reviews.

Mark Godden’s second full-length ballet, “The Magic Flute” premiered with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in 2003. Based on Mozart’s 1791 “Die Zauberflote,” the ballet tells a determined love story. In an attempt to link the 18th-century opera with contemporary life, Godden employs abstract design scheme that is sometimes at odds with his own storytelling purpose.

Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta had to the pleasure on helping recreate some props in the ballet - the portraits. Single panel foam boards were used for the portraits. With high resolution photographs, we were able to produce what they needed.
