Mozart’s The Magic Flute

Enchanting and evocative, Mozart’s final operatic masterpiece The Magic Flute, is a lyrical love story, set against an atmospheric backdrop of fantasy and mischief.

The Queen of the Night is determined to use her only daughter Pamina as a pawn in the continuing war with her estranged husband, Sarastro. She recruits Tamino, a prince and Papageno, a bird-catcher to steal her daughter away from her father. Will Tamino survive his dangerous quest? Will Papageno find the woman of his dreams? Will love prevail over hate? Mozart’s most popular opera is for all ages and opera aficionados and newcomers alike.

Sung in English and directed by Annilese Miskimmon, design is by Nicky Shaw with lighting design by Sinead McKenna. Opera Theatre Company’s chamber ensemble performs the captivating score with music direction by Brenda Hurley.
