Mozart’s *The Magic Flute*

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s *The Magic Flute* is one of the most popular operas in the history of music. Top Klassik Zürcher Oberland invites you to a special chamber music interpretation of this masterpiece: In a rarely performed version for string quartet and narrator, 18 selected pieces will be performed – from the overture, through Papageno’s ‘The Bird-Catcher’ and Tamino’s ‘This portrait is enchantingly beautiful’, to the famous aria of the Queen of the Night and Pamina’s ‘Ach, ich fühl’s’.

Narrator Nikolaus Schmid guides the audience through the story of Tamino, Pamina and Papageno in a humorous and informative manner. The performance, lasting around 70 minutes without an interval, combines Mozart’s timeless music with the intimate soundscape of the string quartet, allowing the audience to experience the well-known opera in a whole new way.
