The Magic Flute

Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder

Enter the whimsical world of Mozart with this beloved audience favorite in a striking new-to-Seattle production featuring eye-popping hand-drawn animation. In a quest to save the beautiful Pamina, Prince Tamino is joined by the bird catcher Papageno and is given a magic flute with extraordinary powers. The two face a vengeful Queen of the Night and many other trials that test their fidelity, love, and determination. But all ends well when truths are revealed and new love blossoms.

Featuring seamless interaction between onstage performers and animated visuals, this production is a “wonderful show” that is “great for opera lovers, newbies and the whole family” (Los Angeles Times). Inspired by silent movies, Barrie Kosky’s colorful and energetic production comes to Seattle after receiving standing ovations at opera houses around the world.
