Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s much-loved final opera, Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), celebrates the triumph of love and reason over chaos and evil. Prince Tamino and the bird-catcher Papageno set out on a perilous quest to rescue Pamina from the evil Sarastro. But is everything as it seems? As they enter Sarastro's world they must overcome a series of trials to be reunited with their true loves.
Premiered in 1791, just two months before Mozart's death, this sublime masterpiece combines heart-warming arias, dazzling coloratura and lyrical folksong in an enchanting tale that is both comic and profound.
Die Zauberflöte plays out in the annual open air, glass-sided opera house at Garsington Opera Festival, Oxfordshire, to mark its 30th birthday.
