This is a pocket-sized production of Mozart’s fantastical opera which is an ideal introduction to opera for the young, for opera neophytes and even for those who don’t think they can manage to sit through a full-length opera. This one is a judiciously and sensitively edited experience which may well encourage the previously opera-allergic to try another longer version, perhaps the Met’s or the Royal Opera.

Mozart’s timeless classic is on a search for truth and justice, love and enlightenment.
Here are the adventures of Prince Tamino, an Asian price, and the bird-catcher Papageno on their quest to rescue Princess Pamina. To assist their mission, they are given musical instruments with magical powers, which they use on their journey towards a deeper understanding of true love and happiness.
​
The Magic Flute is sung in German with English and traditional Chinese scene descriptions.
