The Magic Flute at The Kennedy Center

This great adventure starts with an unexpected pair: Tamino, a handsome young prince, and Papageno, his silly bird-catcher sidekick. When the mysterious Queen of the Night enlists the duo to rescue her kidnapped daughter Pamina, a fantastic journey follows. Armed with a magic flute and bells, they're prepared for whatever trials they may face. However, not all is as it seems, and not everyone can be trusted. Friends will become foes and enemies will become allies in Mozart's final and beloved opera. A whimsical production designed by children's author/illustrator Maurice Sendak, the Washington National Opera presents The Magic Flute at The Kennedy Center.
