Once upon a time, a prince awakens in a mysterious land with an even more mysterious task. Armed with enchanted bells and (you guessed it) a magic flute, Prince Tamino sets off, bound and determined to rescue his lady love, the Princess Pamina—only to find that things aren’t what they seem, and the Queen of the Night who sent him on his quest just might be plotting his doom instead. 

James Conlon ends his legendary tenure as LA Opera Music Director with the world's most popular opera in one of our most emblematic productions. Mozart's catchy melodies meet astonishing projected animations in our perennial crowd pleaser. Miles Mykkanen makes his LA Opera debut as Prince Tamino opposite Sydney Mancasola as the beautiful Pamina. Kyle Miller might just steal the show as the lovable sidekick Papageno, while Aigul Khismatullina and Kwangchul Youn face off as the Queen of the Night and Sarastro. 

Running time: approximately two hours and 40 minutes, including one intermission.

Sung in German with English subtitles

A production of the Komische Oper Berlin.
