21:00, Tue 9th – Wed 10th June 2009 at The Cambridge Union + St. John's College Master's Garden
Easter Week 7
Shadwell Opera presents Mozart's Masonic masterpiece, THE MAGIC FLUTE, in which Mozart masterly weaves an archetypal fairy story about a Prince in search of his Princess with a profound allegory about the quest for spiritual wisdom, mixing magical theatrical spectacle, knockabout pantomime, and music that ranges from the showstopping to the heartbreaking.
The cream of Cambridge's singing talent, and a sparkling orchestral ensemble bring you the perfect post-exam summer entertainment with flutes, bells, fitzbillies' feasts and London fashion house costumes, before the production tours to the Edinburgh fringe, where it will be performed in the world famous Rosslyn Chapel, of Dan Brown's Da Vinci code fame.
