SPECIAL FAMILY EVENT
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder, adapted

This condensed version of Mozart’s final masterpiece, sung in English, is a perfect introduction for children to the magic of opera. The bird-catcher Papageno narrates the plot between arias in a fun, family-friendly format. Join Papageno as he accompanies Tamino on a journey through an enchanting world to free his beloved Pamina.

Mozart's magical world – re-envisioned by renowned cartoonist/designer Gerald Scarfe with wacky make-believe animals like crocoguins, tigoons and giraffestritches – will dazzle your children and awaken the child in you.

This production is recommended for children ages 6 and older.
