Approved

Mozart’s final opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), is a fairytale whose characters, driven forward by love and hatred, are in search of the ultimate truth. Danger, spells, tests of integrity, and actions both honorable and foul sweep us up into an enchanting world where nothing is quite as it seems. This celebrated opera is widely believed to be one of the most magical compositions ever written. Performed in the genre of singspiel, Die Zauberflöte is sung in German with English dialogues.

Festival Opera is proud to showcase some of New Zealand's finest homegrown talent, including Soprano Polly Ott (Queen of the Night), Tenor Oliver Sewell (Tamino), Soprano Emma Pearson (Pamina) and Bass-Baritone James Ioelu (Papageno).
