About The Magic Flute
Set out on a surprising journey through a surreal and spectacular world with a new staging of Mozart’s most inventive opera.
Filled with humour and heart, The Magic Flute follows Prince Tamino’s daring quest to rescue Pamina — and the perilous trials the young pair face as they find their way back to the light.
With fabulously fun sets and costumes inspired by the works of Jules Verne and HG Wells, this is a feast for the eyes and the ears, with some of Mozart’s most famous music, including the extraordinarily high notes of the Queen of the Night aria.
Featuring a thrilling mix of international talent and a new generation of Australian stars, this fresh take on The Magic Flute is a wonderful night at the opera.
