The Magic Flute is one of the most frequently performed operas in North
America and one of the most beloved of all time. The young prince Tamino
is recruited by the evil Queen of the Night to rescue her beautiful
daughter, Pamina who is being held captive by the High Priest, Sarastro.
To aid him in his search, she gives the prince a magic flute and sends
along the comical and loveable bird-man, Papageno. Throughout the
magical journey there are serpents to slay, animals to tame, and trials
by fire and water. The opera can be enjoyed on multiple levels: a
fanciful fairy tale or a fascinating allegory of religion, politics, the
very nature of virtue and the enlightenment – all transported through
the beauty and magic of Mozart’s music!
