Mozart expedition – Enchanted by The Magic Flute
Following on from last year’s huge success, the Mozart Expedition, our mini-festival with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, continues this September with a whole host of exciting programmes. This time, we will explore Mozart’s final stage work, the eternally relevant The Magic Flute, from new and unconventional angles – the opera can be appreciated both as a rite of passage and a profound fable of coming of age.
