The Magic Flute

When Tamino awakes from a battle with a giant snake, he is chosen by the Queen of the Night for an epic journey to rescue her daughter, Pamina, from the evil Sarastro. Equipped with a Magic Flute and accompanied by the bumbling but lovable Papageno, they venture forth, encountering three mysterious boys, an evil jailer, trials to enlightenment, and a truth, less black and white than it first appears.

The Magic Flute (or Die Zauberflöte) is one of opera’s most accessible and widely-enjoyed piece for all ages; a combination of spoken and sung story-telling of a spectacular fable, The Magic Flute has captivated first-time opera goers, seasoned listeners and everyone in between for centuries.

Featuring one of the most famous arias from the opera repertoire - the Queen of the Night’s aria (heard in Amadeus, Eat, Pray, Love, and, more recently, House of Gucci), Mozart’s sublime score moves, entertains and excites in equal measure.
