Magic flutes, monstrous serpents, and a quest for love. Mozart’s beloved family-favourite opera returns to London at the Royal Ballet & Opera this Winter. See the musical comedy opera that will transport you and all the family to a magical kingdom far away, book your official tickets today.
In a kingdom of monsters, temples and enchantments, Prince Tamino must rescue the princess Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night. What seems like a simple mission, no challenge to a prince, he must face a series of trials to attain enlightenment…
Featuring the iconic Queen of the Night aria, the music of The Magic Flute is sure to leave no heart uncharmed, and with a striking and enchanting staging.
The Magic Flute was Mozart’s final opera before he died at the age of 35 on 5 December, 1791. The premiere, just two months before his death, in the humble Vienna Theater auf der Wieden was a huge success. Mozart personally conducted the orchestra for the opening night. He intended the piece for everyday, working-class audiences rather than his usual crowd of wealthy aristocrats.
The performance lasts approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes, including one interval.
Act I: 1 hour 10 minutes Interval: 25 minutes Act II: 1 hour 30 minutes
Sung in German with English surtitles, which are displayed on screens above the stage and around the auditorium.
