The Magic Flute

When Tamino awakes from a battle with a giant snake, he is chosen by the Queen of the Night for an epic journey to rescue her daughter, Pamina, from the evil Sarastro. Equipped with a Magic Flute and accompanied by the bumbling but lovable Papageno, they venture forth, encountering three mysterious boys, an evil jailer, trials to enlightenment, and a truth, less black and white than it first appears.

Following the success of productions Suor Angelica in 2023 and La Bohème in 2024 composed by Giacomo Puccini, Opera Greenwich is delighted to present their first ever opera sung entirely in German by one of the most influential composers of the 18th century. W.A. Mozart's beloved opera The Magic Flute will be brought to life with a fresh and imaginative interpretation tackling themes of love, adventure and the fight for universal balance. The Magic Flute will be sung in German with English text and English surtitles.
