Prince Tamino hears that Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of Night, was taken by the "evil" Sarastro. When shown a picture of Pamina, he falls in love with her, and attended by Papageno, he goes to the temple of Sarastro. In reality, Sarastro is a high priestess of virtue. Tamino is told that he has to overcome various ordeals to rescue Pamina. He bravely faces these ordeals and successfully surmounts them.
