The Magic Flute
Mozart
Performed in English

English version by Jeremy Sams

Performed by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited

Mozart’s final masterpiece is the story of a terrifying and joyful journey in pursuit of love, wisdom and happiness. From the stratospheric arias of the Queen of the Night, through the jolly folk tunes of Papageno the Birdcatcher to the profound music of Sarastro, leader of the enlightened ones, it is a full expression of Mozart’s musical and dramatic genius. ETO’s new English-language production by physical theatre specialist Liam Steel, conducted by Paul McGrath, will be a memorable night for all ages.
