Prince Tamino is chosen by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina from the evil Sarastro, sending her bird catcher Papageno along with him to “help”. For newcomers, it’s a superb introduction – and in this filmed incarnation there will be plenty of chances to engage with the detail that is potentially lost in the tumult and scale of a performance viewed in the auditorium.Īt its heart, it’s a fairly traditionally structured fairy story of good and evil with a healthy layer of grown up threat and tension. Long running in the Royal Opera house (this was recorded in September 2017) it’s recognised as a quality version of Mozart’s complex work.
For UK fans of this opera David McVicar’s production may well be known to you.
