The Bluebirds Theatre Company & Somerset Opera present The Magic Flute
For this show The Bluebirds Theatre Company are joined by Somerset Opera to bring this amazing tale to life…
A brand new and inspirational version of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. Join The Bluebirds Theatre Company for their dynamic production of The Magic Flute; meet a cast of amazing opera singers and life sized puppets for a flight of imagination touring the South West this summer.
In the Circus of Light and the Circus of Night there’s a family feud going on. The great Mage Sarastro kidnaps his own daughter Pamina. The Queen of the Night’s not too happy about this and vows deadly revenge.
Meanwhile Papageno tries to perfect his human cannon-ball act, and find himself a girlfriend; and don’t forget the bashful Prince Tamino who’s sent on a mission to rescue the feisty Pamina.
What’s not to like about a madcap story, great live music and a mixed cast of humans and puppets?
