The Magic Flute

Charles Court Opera bring Mozart’s Magic Flute to the Iford Arts Festival

Director: John Savournin
Conductor: David Eaton

Sung in English

As baffling as it is popular, sublime as well as entertaining, Mozart’s Magic Flute remains one of the most instantly enjoyable operas in the repertory. Through trials of body and spirit Tamino seeks Pamina, and Pappageno the birdman seeks his Pappagena. The goodies turn out to be bad and vice versa. Mozart’s music creates a truly magical consistency overlaying Magic Flute which by its end is often felt to be his most transcendent and moving work.

“Iford is a tiny operatic heaven” Rian Evans – The Guardian
