Enter Mozart’s fairytale world of dancing animals, exalted heroes, and imprisoned ingénues. With help from the High Priest of the Sun, they battle for love and justice against the vengeful Queen of the Night.

The harmonies are intoxicating, the arias melting. George Bernard Shaw proclaimed the score “the only music that would not sound out of place in the mouth of God.”

Plot:
Sarastro, the wise priest of Isis, has taken Pamina to the temple for the humane purpose of releasing her from the influence of her mother, the Queen of the Night. The queen induces the young Prince Tamino to go in search of her daughter and free her from the power of Sarastro; Tamino accomplishes his end, but becomes the disciple of Sarastro, whose mildness and wisdom he has learned to admire. The prince and Pamina are united.
