A daring Prince, a beautiful Princess, and an evil Queen–a fairy tale love story with unimaginable trials along the way. Mozart’s final opera, The Magic Flute, contains some of opera’s most memorable melodies and roles, including The Queen of the Night and her famous high notes! Sorcery, a dragon, and long-held secrets challenge our hero and heroine on their quest for wisdom and enlightenment.
Sung in German with English surtitles
