Mozart’s The Magic Flute is one of the world’s best-loved operas. An exciting story, it tells of Prince Tamino's quest to rescue Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night, from the Priest of the Sun. Adapted and directed by Mark Dornford-May, the production is faithful to the story and score of Mozart's opera, but is totally re-imagined, with marimbas, drums and township percussion replacing traditional orchestral accompaniment. This brings a fresh perspective to this heart-warming, comedic and ultimately redemptive tale of love, adventure and reconciliation.
