Description

Tamino falls in love with Pamina, whom he is only allowed to marry if they pass difficult tests. Through the "fair sound" of the Magic Flute, they both succeed in overcoming fire and water. Papageno and Papagena also find each other through the magic of music. And so that the opera in this version only lasts 70 minutes and is thus over half shorter than its big sister, a narrator summarises the events ... 

Prince Tamino falls head over heels in love with Princess Pamina when he receives her picture as a gift. Pamina's love for the Prince is awakened when she hears the tales of Papageno, the bird catcher, with whom she then sings a love duet, Papageno standing in for Tamino. However, these two children of royal blood have a few obstacles to surmount before they can be united. Fortunately there's always music in the meantime: Tamino is given a magic flute that can tame wild animals, and Papageno has a musical instrument, a glockenspiel of magic chimes.

This abbreviated version of Mozart's MAGIC FLUTE is intended not only for children but for all music and theatre lovers keen to spend an hour learning the sights and sounds of opera.
