World famous opera by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart

Duration: 2 h 15 min

This famous opera by Mozart is about the exciting story of the young Prince Tamino sent by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina, who was abducted by the Sovereign Sarastro. Tamino receives a Magic Flute, Papageno - the Birdcatcher - a magical carillon. Many tests have to be passed until Papageno gets his Papagena and Prince Tamino can marry his Princess Pamina.

 

Our version is adapted to the location and to the possibilities by Marionettetheatre.. As for the puppets, they can perform one or two which are beyond the capabilities of their human counterparts in the opera.
