The Magic Flute

Step into the enchanting world of Mozart’s beloved opera, The Magic Flute, with Opera for the Young. Follow Prince Tamino as he embarks on a daring quest to find the heroic Princess Pamina. The Prince is aided by the whimsical birdman Papageno and a lively chorus of students from Plymouth’s Horizon and Fairview elementary schools, under the direction of their music teacher, Jennifer Erdly. Join us at the Plymouth Arts Center, Thursday, May 15, at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $10 for Adults (18+) and $5 for Children. Please reserve your tickets early, as seating is limited to 150.

Transformed into whimsical space creatures, the students play Sarastro and his “Alien Council of Wisdom” in a fantastical interplanetary adaptation. But beware the sinister Queen of the Night and her assistant, the Three-headed Lady, who stand in their way! Beautiful melodies and comical characters delight youngsters, while themes of resilience and forgiveness generate thoughtful discussion. Don’t miss this magical journey filled with music, laughter, and valuable life lessons! (Two daytime shows will also be presented for the students of Fairview & Horizon Schools on Friday.)

This production offers a fresh take on Mozart’s timeless fable, promising a captivating journey filled with wonder, music, and adventure that will enchant both children and parents alike. Whether you’re a long-time opera lover or a newcomer to the genre, prepare for an unforgettable evening where the beauty and drama of opera come alive.
