Magic Flute Theatre Tickets

Duke of York Theatre 104 St Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4BG

The greatest piece of music theatre performed as you''ve never heard it before - the South African way: 35 singers, marimbas, drums and township percussion. It''s a story about the trials of life: growing up, finding the love of your life, learning to be wise. It''s adventure, fairy story, comedy and drama, all set to glorious music. A delight for young and old alike.

Telling the story of Prince Tamino''s quest to rescue Pamina - daughter of the Queen of the Night - from the Priest of the Sun, The Magic Flute is a heart-warming and comedic story of love, adventure and reconciliation.

Played in a township setting and encompassing the various languages of the nation including English, The Magic Flute - Impempe Yomlingo features Pauline Malefane, star of the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear-winning film U-Carmen eKhayelitsha and most recently seen at the Young Vic in Generations. Mark Dornford-May''s production is faithful to the story and score of Mozart''s opera but totally re-imagined with marimbas, drums and township percussion replacing traditional orchestral accompaniment

Mozart''s much loved opera - in which Prince Tamino goes on a quest to rescue Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, from the Priest of the Sun - has been totally reimagined by this South African company of 35 singers and musicians. The score is played on marimbas, percussion and drums, and the lyrics encompass the range of languages of South Africa, including English, to create a unique, uplifting and heart-warming production.
