The Magic Flute
for young & old
in original German
with narrator
The Magic Flute is the most famous, the most popular and the most frequently performed German opera. The fairy-tale plot and the wonderful, catchy melodies enchant young and old alike. It is no exaggeration to say that The Magic Flute is the most popular opera for children.
The opera offers children an incredible variety of stimuli for the imagination: there is the witty, unforgettable Papageno, the wonderful love story between Prince Tamino and his beloved Pamina, the splendid, wise world of Sarastro's Temple of the Sun, and the evil, dangerous Queen of the Night with her incredible coloratura drama. There are also enchanted musical instruments, menacing snakes and dancing animals, in a world where good celebrates its certain victory over evil.
Now a very special, beautiful version of this opera classic for children aged 4 and over is coming to the stage. The shimmering voices of the PRAGUE CHAMBER OPERA enchant the audience with the most famous arias and ensembles of this masterpiece. The enchanting story is narrated by the likeable actress Melinda Thompson. As the "High Priestess Isira", she presents the plot in a slightly abridged, clear and understandable way, with wit and charm.
The "Magic Flute for young & old" with soloists from the PRAGUE CHAMBER OPERA is not only an excellent introduction to the world of opera, but also fresh and humorous entertainment, created for children of all ages, but by no means childish!
Duration 2x38min + 20min intermission
