Kenneth Brannagh's Magic Flute (overture)

For his very original reimagining of Mozart's Magic Flute, Kennth Brannagh set it in a WWI battlefield. The soldier is Papageno and is in charge of carrier pigeons. I love this opening sequence with the general blowing the whistle to signal the start of the attack by marching violins and the dancing airplanes.
