The perfect production
This production of Mozart's Magic Flute (being revived at Covent Garden in 2005) is wonderful. The staging is visually stunning, the cast is exceptional (especially Simon Keenlyside as Papageno who sings and acts with a real sense of character and humour) and the production as a whole has a real vitality and wit which engages you from the start and keeps you gripped throughout.
Watch out for a brilliant Monostatos who steals all the scenes he appears in. -

Magic
This is one of the best of the many productions of the magic flute that I have seen.
It maintains traditional production values whilst injecting an acceptable amount of modernity into the sets and lighting. The singing is uniformly pleasing with exceptionally good cotributions from Simon Keelyside and the queen of the night (truly scary and very dramatic).
It is such great fun and probably the best opera to start on if you've never seen one before. -
