The Magic Organ
Zurich Fairy Tale Theatre
In a small town live the poor tinker Fridolin and his daughter Rägeli. When King Adalbert the Last falls seriously ill and no one can help him, Fridolin reveals a long-kept secret: Years ago, he built a magical organ whose music can make people happy, but he has never played it. At Rägeli’s request, he plays the organ, and wonderful sounds fill the room. Together they decide to travel to the king to heal him with the power of music. But the wicked apothecary couple, the Bitterlis, learn of the organ and try to steal it. On their adventurous journey, Fridolin and Rägeli meet a scarecrow and a snowman, who accompany them. Will they succeed in saving the king, or will everything turn out quite differently?
The building at Hechtplatz 7 will undergo renovation from January 2026. During this time, we will be presenting our programme at Haus Seefeld (Seefeldstrasse 91, 8008 Zurich).
