Mozart’s The Magic Flute at Civic Theatre

Opera Theatre Company

Ireland’s National Touring Opera Company presents

Mozart’s The Magic Flute

Sung in English and directed by Annilese Miskimmon,

Enchanting and evocative, Mozart’s final operatic masterpiece The Magic Flute, is a lyrical love story, set against an atmospheric backdrop of fantasy and mischief. The Queen of the Night is determined to use her only daughter Pamina as a pawn in the continuing war with her estranged husband, Sarastro. She recruits Tamino, a prince and Papageno, a bird-catcher to steal her daughter away from her father. Will Tamino survive his dangerous quest? Will Papageno find the woman of his dreams? and will love prevail over hate? Mozart’s most popular opera is for all ages and opera aficionados and newcomers alike.

Celebrating 25 years of touring opera throughout Ireland, Opera Theatre Company is delighted to return to the Civic theatre with this magical and uplifting opera.

The sublime score ripples with irresistible charm; from the stratospheric arias of the Queen of the Night, to the glorious melodies of Papageno, both reflecting Mozart’s dramatic genius and love for life.
