Sydney Con And NIDA Present The Magic Flute

The Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the National Institute of Dramatic Art join forces to present The Magic Flute, Mozart’s enigmatic opera, with libretto by Emanuel Shikaneder.

Stephen Mould conducts this production of Mozart’s final opera by director Clemence Williams, which teams Sydney Conservatorium of Music performers with NIDA technical theatre and stage management, costume, props, and scenic construction students, to take you on a journey into a dream world where we hope we may find fulfilment.

They will transport you to a fantastical world of serpents, princesses, trials and mysteries. Good and evil battle, and truth and resolution are elusive. In this world of which feels like 1984 meets Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz, Tamino, a prince, has lost his way. He journeys down a deep rabbit hole in search of his true love, Pamina, imprisoned in the Temple of The Sun. Together they navigate the trials imposed by the mysterious Sarastro and the trickery of The Queen of the Night and her cronies. A fairy tale for the ages.
