The Magic Flute
London is the ultimate destination for magic and music this month, with two groundbreaking new productions of The Magic Flute opening simultaneously for Christmas. Kenneth Branagh’s new film version opens in UK cinemas on Friday 30 November and Mark Dornford-May’s new South African stage version opens Thursday 29 November at the famous Young Vic Theatre, in repertory with the same cast’s magic-infused A Christmas Carol.
The Royal Opera House, London, will also be running a production of Die Zauberflöte from 28 January 2008 to 1 March 2008
