What Is The Magic Flute About?
In a far-off kingdom, Prince Tamino and the bird-catcher Papageno embark on a journey to find and rescue Pamina - the daughter of the Queen of the Night, who has been kidnapped by the evil Sarastro. But, when their magical instruments finally seek out Sarastro, nothing is as it seems; and their journey transforms from a rescue mission to a quest to find truth, reason, enlightenment - and love.
The History of The Magic Flute Opera
The Magic Flute is Mozart’s final work, and premiered in 1791, shortly before his death, marking the end of the master composer's illustrious career. The libretto was written by Emanuel Schikaneder, who also originated the role of Papageno upon the show's premiere. Written in German singspiel form, The Magic Flute contains both sung elements and spoken dialogue, and retains the traditional Singspiel influences of folk tales, magic, and tales of good versus evil. David McVicar's acclaimed production first premiered in 2003 to critical acclaim, and has since returned to the ROH numerous times.
