The (ex-totem?) Video player proposes the installation of gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, but after installation there is no playback, nothing. When I try to open the .midi file again, the Video player comes up with the installation again and again. So I guess, this is not the right package.
UPDATE: Rythmbox isn't configured to play .midi files either.

The gstreamer method of playing MIDI is to use the sound card's sequencer to do so. However, many sound cards do not necessarily have an instrument for playing MIDI, these days. Instead, you will need to install a software sequencer, such as timidity to play the files.

Open the terminal and enter:
sudo apt install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra
Enter your password, another prompt may appear type, Y and hit enter.
Go to your menu, you should now have an application called TiMidity++ launch it. In terminal would be timidity mymusic.mid.
In TiMidity++ go to File > load and redirect it the location of your midi file, select the file, then okay then play
