In a fairytale land, Prince Tamino falls in love with Pamina, the kidnapped daughter of the mysterious Queen of the Night, and embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue her. His fantastical journey transforms everything he thought he knew about this dream-like world of darkness and light.
This fully-staged production features a cast of twelve exceptional singers and and a chamber orchestra of ten top musicians. The production is directed by James Hurley (who has directed for ENO, Glyndebourne and Opera North this season), with costumes by the young fashion designer Sophie Lincoln and conducted by Wild Arts' Artistic Director Orlando Jopling.
Sung in English in the translation by Jeremy Sams, with new dialogue by James Hurley.
