The Magic Flute, composed just months before Mozart’s death in 1791, is one of the composer’s most popular operas. The story follows the young prince Tamino’s search for love and truth, a mother’s love and her search for vengeance, and the endearing bird-catcher, Papageno, and his search for his perfect mate. Set in a mystical time and place, their stories intertwine in some of Mozart’s greatest music.
