A lavish soiree is being held for golden boy of the royal family, Prince Tamino. All seems well at the celebration of his imminent dispatch to the army, but beyond the glittering heights of the social elite lies the brutal reality of modern warfare. Terror and trauma force Tamino into a psychotic state, in which he enters another war-torn world where nothing is quite as it seems:  his companions aren’t entirely human and the rulers’ control dictates not only the lives of the people, but the behaviour of the elements.  Under the reign of The Queen of the Night the land is plummeted into darkness and the young prince is sent on a quest for light and love. In this coming of age story, the boundaries between good and evil, fiction and reality are destroyed. As the fantastical fuses with the familiar, we soon discover that fairytales have never been more real.

After the sell-out success of January’s The Marriage of Figaro, Opera Warwick presents this enchanting masterpiece with live orchestra in a sparkling English translation by Radio 4 star and Vicar of Dibley screenwriter Kit Hesketh-Harvey.
