The Queen of the Night gives Tamino the task of freeing her daughter Pamina who have been abducted by Sarastro. If Tamino is successful he will win Pamina's hand in marriage. He is accompanied by Papageno. A magic flute and an enchanted glockenspiel will help them. But nothing is quite as it seems. Are both Pamina's mother and Sarastro evil? Or neither? Soon Tamino, Papageno and Pamina face some difficult tests...
Mozart's beloved opera The Magic Flute is a fairy tale in which light, darkness, love and the power of music is in focus. The set has been sold out since its premiere in autumn 2012.
