About

The Magic Flute is an opera about a prince sent to rescue a princess. Prince Tamino is given the task of finding Pamina, whose mother is the Queen of the Night. The story takes place in a land of temples, monsters and enchantments. Tamino faces a series of trials, and his friend Papageno goes with him. Mozart wrote the music and Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the libretto. David McVicar directs this production at the Royal Opera House. The score includes the aria sung by the Queen of the Night. The singers perform in German, and English text appears on screens in the auditorium, including above the stage. The running time is 3 hours 5 minutes, including one interval.
