Die Zauberflöte Mozart

'O endless night, when will you disappear?’ Prince Tamino has set out to rescue the Queen of the Night’s daughter Pamina from the evil enchanter Sarastro. But when he enters Sarastro’s temple, he soon realises that things are not what they seem. Together with his hapless birdcatcher sidekick Papageno, he embarks on a mysterious quest for love and enlightenment.

The Magic Flute is one of Mozart’s most memorable achievements: it is both a witty operatic fairy tale and an intense celebration of love, wisdom and self-discovery. It contains some of the composer’s most inspired music, including the Queen of the Night’s bravura arias, Papageno’s tuneful folksongs and the love music for Tamino and Pamina.
