‘It was all done with a knowing, cheeky sense of humour, while never detracting from Mozart’s delectable score.’ The Guardian
‘An absolute delight from beginning to end… As for the music — we left feeling utterly elated. What a joy to be listening to marvellous singing in such an atmosphere.’
WILD ARTS’ MAGIC FLUTE – SYNOPSIS
Act I
An earnest young prince, Tamino, is pursued by terrifying figures. He faints in terror, and when he regains consciousness finds only a bird-catcher called Papageno.
Three ladies appear. Tamino feels he’s seen them before but can’t work out where. They present him with a portrait of the Queen of the Night’s daughter, Pamina, who has been abducted by Sarastro. Tamino immediately falls in love and vows to rescue his new beloved.
