Event:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's
The Magic Flute

    MAGIC FLUTE tells of the handsome prince Tamino's quest to find the beautiful Pamina, whose image he has fallen in love with. During his search, Tamino encounters some mysterious characters: Pamina's grand but menacing mother, some watchful guides, a lonely birdcatcher and the forbidding ruler, Sarastro. With terrifying ordeals to be conquered, Tamino's magic flute may help him, but it is his own strengths that will be key.

    MAGIC FLUTE will open on September 19-27 at the CCP Little Theater and will be directed by Kokoy Jimenez, the man behind the longest-running children’s educational television program, “Batibot”.

    To coincide with the 150th anniversary of Giacomo Puccini’s birth, Puccini’s best-loved opera LA BOHEME follows on October 3, 4, and 5. Perhaps more than any other classic opera, LA BOHEME lends itself to contemporary interpretation. The time period has been moved from 1830 to 21st century so that contemporary audiences will recognize and relate to. Innovative director Floy Quintos updates Puccini's timeless tale in an extraordinary new production, following the stories of a circle of young artists’ struggle against poverty and their quest for integrity.

    Magic Flute is a co-productions with the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
