The Royal Opera | Die Zauberflöte

David McVicar
Tue 21 Apr and Sun 17 May

Princess Pamina has been taken captive. Her mother, the Queen of the Night, commands the young prince Tamino to rescue her. But as Tamino and his kind-hearted companion Papageno set off on their adventure, they soon discover that when it comes to the search for love, nothing is as it seems. Guided by a magic flute, they encounter monsters, villains, and a mysterious community. But just when they least expect it, help arrives.

Mozart’s imaginative opera shines in David McVicar’s enchanting production. The cast features stars such as Julia Bullock as Pamina, Amitai Pati as Tamino, Huw Montague Rendall as Papageno, Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night, and Soloman Howard as Sarastro, conducted by French maestro Marie Jacquot, making her debut at Covent Garden.

During an encore you get to see the same performance. The only difference is that they are recorded and not live-streamed.
