Featuring not only the fantastic melodies including the famous "Queen of the Night" aria, but also Korean subtitles for the arias and Korean dialogue for the spoken parts, the production is designed so that anyone can easily and joyfully immerse themselves in the story. We hope the whole family will come together to enjoy the magical musical feast that Mozart presents.
[Plot]
A Singspiel (a German opera with spoken dialogue interspersed throughout, like a play) completed two months before Mozart's death.
With a simple story of lovers in romance and a battle between good and evil, Mozart's beautiful music and comic elements have made this work beloved even now, nearly 200 years after its 1791 premiere.
In a world where the "forces of light" ruled by Sarastro clash with the "forces of darkness" ruled by the Queen of the Night, Tamino, fleeing from a giant serpent, loses consciousness and is rescued by three attendants of the Queen of the Night. The Queen of the Night shows Tamino a portrait of her daughter Pamina and asks him to rescue her. The three attendants, captivated by Pamina's portrait, gift Tamino a magic flute, and he sets out with Papageno to rescue Pamina from Sarastro's captivity. After many twists and turns, Tamino meets Pamina, they confirm their love for each other, and undergo Sarastro's trials to achieve their love.
