OPERA FOR CHILDREN
OPENING IN SELECT THEATERS AND VIA STREAMING ON DECEMBER 13, 2023
Join Tamino on his adventurous quest to save Pamina, where reality mixes with fantasy in a battle between good and evil.
The Magic Flute is an opera about love and trials, and the struggle of light against darkness.
This cinematic version of The Magic Flute focuses on Tamino's journey to find his own courage. It's an adventure,
where Tamino must save Pamina, but in the end, it's really her who saves him. We jump in and out between the world of reality and fantasy, and we meet the different characters in both.

'The Magic Flute' is a German-language opera written by Emanuel Schikaneder and with music composed by none other than Mozart. It is a fairytale opera set in a fairytale universe with fairytale characters: there is a Queen of the Night, a mysterious Sarastro, a birdcatcher - and the very young ones who have to go through so much: Pamina and Tamino. The opera follows Prince Tamino and the birdcatcher Papageno as they search for Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night.
