The Magic Flute

A special adaptation for children originally produced by Glyndebourne Education

All performances at The Trinity Theatre Tunbridge Wells

opera by definition education aims to introduce young people aged between 6 and 11 to opera with a new adaptation of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

This production, which was especially commissioned for a family audience and originally created and produced by Glyndebourne Education, was premiered at The Brighton Festival in 2009.

The staging of this production will give the children an opportunity to interact with the story and to experience the exhilaration of watching a live performance with Glyndebourne Opera singers accompanied by flute and piano.

Part pantomime and part fairy tale, The Magic Flute conjures a cast of plucky heroes searching for truth and the enlightenment of the new day. Scenery, costumes, props and an integral lighting design support their epic journey.

Using only Mozart's music, arranged by Dominic Harlan, with a new and intimate approach to the story by Brendan Murray, the performers will retell this bewitching tale with a little help from the audience.

• Suitable for ages 6-11
• The performance lasts for 1 hour with no interval
