THE MAGIC FLUTE | PROTEIN DANCE

Fri 12 - Sun 14 Dec
From £18, concessions from £14

Joy. Wonder. Spectacular.

Open video in lightbox

Step into Luca Silvestrini's new dance-theatre adaptation of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute.

Following Protein’s award-winning family show The Little Prince, this enchanting new production is perfect for children aged 5+ and their grown-ups.

In an enchanting tale of love and friendship shining through darkness, join fun-loving bird-catcher Papageno and lost Prince Tamino as they set out to rescue Princess Pamina, uncovering the truth about the mysterious Queen of the Night and the powerful leader Sarastro.

The Magic Flute is brought to life with Protein’s playful mix of dancing, storytelling, singing and stunning visuals, with set and costume design by Dick Bird, rearranged Mozart and new music by composer Frank Moon, creative captions/video design by Douglas Baker and lighting by Rachel Shipp.

Every performance is welcoming and accessible with integrated creative captioning.
