The Little Magic Flute

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

In German, ages 5 and up

Version by Marco Dott based on the singspiel by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Emanuel Schikaneder

Premiere: 25 April 2026 / Salzburg State Theatre

Synopsis

Oh no – little Anna has gotten lost! She plays her magical flute and suddenly finds herself in the world of opera. And right there she lands in front of Prince Tamino, who is being chased by a dragon. A few notes from Anna’s flute – and the dragon starts to shrink. Soon it’s so tiny that it even scares itself.

Tamino is on his way to the wizard Sarastro to rescue Princess Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night. So Anna and Tamino set off together, joined by the bird-catcher Papageno – and the dragon. But before they can reach their goal, they must face a series of difficult trials.

In Marco Dott’s new production, "The Little Magic Flute" becomes an exciting and funny adventure for young audiences. Full of energy and with great affection for its characters, the staging brings Anna’s story and her newly formed friendships to life on stage. A perfect introduction to the thrilling world of opera.

Dauer: 1 h 10 min. / no intermission

Reviews

„Die „Kleine Zauberflöte“ ist ein großes Opernerlebnis, das in 70 Minuten die Substanz des Werks zutage fördert. [...] Die temporeiche, an der Jugendsprache orientierte Inszenierung ist in eine atmosphärisch-poetische Bühnenlandschaft von Ausstatter Matthias Kronfuss eingebettet und spielt multimedial alle Stückerl. Der Drache wird via Projektion bühnenfüllend echt zum Leben erweckt und auch die Feuer- und Wasserprobe erzeugt Aha-Effekte. „Die kleine Zauberflöte“ hat das Zeug zum Dauerbrenner."

Salzburger Nachrichten

„Mit hochqualifizierter Feinarbeit an Skript, Inszenierung und Bühnenbild sowie mit exzellenten Sänger-Darstellern ist „Die kleine Zauberflöte“ eine hervorragende Investition in das junge Publikum. [...] Diese „Kleine Zauberflöte“ verbindet Spannung und Humor mit kindgerechter Erzählweise. Ein idealer Einstieg in die faszinierende Welt der Oper. Diese geglückte Produktion ist auch für Schulklassen absolut empfehlenswert.“
