Cheerful and colourful opera

Our mini opera of the beloved Magic Flute is a fast-paced, fabulously fun fairy tale, in which two versatile singers play six different roles and two musicians interpret Mozart’s immortal tunes. The familiar story of the Magic Flute is still there, but with some tantalising new twists. This time around, Pamina has left the club of the Queen of the Night for that of Sarastro, making the Queen of the Night so angry that she threatens to punish everyone: ”I shall sing a high F to make you all deaf!”

The cheerful Mini Operas are recommended for everyone over the age of 2.

Your safety is important to us

We recommend everyone who visits the Opera House to wear a face mask. We kindly ask you to arrive at the performance in good time and only when you are not feeling ill. Our personnel are happy to help you whenever necessary.

Please note that all visitors, regardless of their age, must have their own ticket.

Join in

The audience is invited to join in: everyone is doing a lot of things in these productions, with soloists in multiple roles, and the musicians are not always what they seem.

Plot

What a day it is for Papageno: first, he has to rescue prince Tamino from a dinosaur, then he must find princess Pamina and pass the test to join Sarastro’s exclusive club. As if that weren’t hard enough for an ordinary birdwatcher, he still needs to come up with a way to get rid of the high-pitched Queen of the Night. And, he absolutely has to find his very own Papagena. There’s simply no way he could do all this without magical instruments. Might Papageno possess anything of the sort?
