Magical instruments. Serpents and sorcerers. Trials of character and courage. When you begin an enchanted journey to find love and wisdom, you have to expect delays on the way.

Mozart’s timeless classic follows the adventures of Prince Tamino and the bird-catcher Papageno on their quest to rescue Pamina. To assist their mission, they are given musical instruments enhanced with magical powers, which they deploy to conquer the trials and tribulations placed in their path towards a deeper understanding of true love and happiness.

The cast includes Christina Landshamer as Pamina and Maximilian Schmitt singing Tamino, alongside Thomas Oliemans, as Papageno. They are joined by company favourite Brindley Sherratt as Sarastro and the sparkling coloratura of Iride Martinez as the manipulative Queen of Night. The performance was conducted by Marc Albrecht and the production was designed by Michael Levine.

Co-production with Dutch National Opera and Festival d’Aix-en-Provence
Original production supported by ENO’s Contemporary Opera Group and the English National Opera Trust
