The Magic Flute Story: An Opera Fantasy (2001)

Overview

Performed by the Gewandhaus Orchestra, this skillfully abridged adaptation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s brilliant comic opera is a delightful family treat. Lavish sets and costumes (and a cast adept at playing comedy) complement and complete the Austrian composer’s glorious music. English-language narration helps guide viewers through the story, and bonus features include a Mozart biography and a full synopsis of the opera.
