With a lovable cast of characters and some of the most sublime music ever written for the stage, The Magic Flute is Mozart’s brilliant final opera, often hailed as among his greatest achievements. We follow a young man, Tamino, on his quest for truth, virtue, and love. Along the way, a goofy bird-catcher, a lovely princess, a wise priest, and a queen who is not what she seems lead our hero through hilarious, mystical, and touching encounters, ending in a triumphant celebration of humanity.

Sung in English.

“Like most fairy tales The Magic Flute is a mysterious story of good and evil.”
