The Magic Flute
by
Mozart
19.30 Thursday 22nd May
Perth Concert Hall
Tickets
£25.00–£38.00
As Perth Theatre is closed for refurbishment,
English Touring Opera
will be in the Perth
Concert Hall this year. This will be a full production, with an orchestra, full set and
costumes. It will be the first time that the Festival has used the Concert Hall
orchestra pit.
The Magic Flute
has enchanted music and theatre lovers of all ages for hundreds of
years. With charm and wit, it tells the story of a terrifying and joyful journey in pursuit
of love, wisdom and happiness. From the stratospheric arias of the Queen of the Night,
through the jolly folk tunes of Papageno the Birdcatcher, to the profound music of
Sarastro, leader of the enlightened ones, it is a full expression of Mozart’s musical and
dramatic genius. ETO is delighted to be reviving Liam Steel’s 2009 production of
Mozart’s final masterpiece.
“English Touring Opera puts on an absolutely gorgeous production of The Magic Flute… the
array of costumes could have come from Vivienne Westwood’s catwalk.”
Daily Telegraph
“As good and mad as opera gets. If you want to win over a disbeliever to the magic of
opera, take them to English Touring Opera’s visually stunning Magic Flute.”
Observer
There will be a pre-opera talk in the Norie Miller Room at 18.30. Please book a free
ticket in advance from the Box Office.
Revival, sung in English
Running time: 2 hours 35 minutes (including interval)
