Mozart's enchanting "sing play", The Magic Flute is without doubt, one of the most exquisite pieces penned by Mozart. In a mythical and magical kingdom. The fairy tale follows the archetypal journey of a young Prince named Tamino and a fanciful birdcatcher named Papageno as they struggle to find what will make their hearts complete. Will they rescue the princess that Tamino loves? Can they vanquish the vengeful plans of the evil Queen of the Night? And can the priests and the powerful Sun God continue to rule the day?
This cosmic battle between good and evil is packed full of operatic and theatrical treats for adults and children of all ages. It is crammed with jewels from the operatic cannon which include Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön, Der Hölle Rache, Ach! Ich fühl's, and O Isis und Osiris, all, of course, sung in English.
Sung in English - with dialogue. Translation.
