THE University of York Opera Society present Mozart’s The Magic Flute on Saturday in their third venture at the Grand Opera House, York.
For one night only, the student production will take you on a journey to a fantastical dreamland of magic and mystery with a cast and crew of more than 50 members and a 30-piece orchestra in the pit.
Director Cassiopeia Berkeley-Agyepong says: “It’s been an extremely rewarding journey so far and we’re excited to perform in such a fabulous venue. The brilliantly fantastical narrative, which features a heroic quest, a vengeful queen and, of course, a magical flute, calls for all manner of special effects. These include an attack from a monstrous serpent and trials by both fire and water.”
The Magic Flute will be performed at 7pm in an English translation by Jeremy Sams, courtesy of Josef Weinberger. Tickets are on sale at £15 and £21 on 0844 871 3024 or atgtickets.com/york
