Notes and Editorial Reviews

Following the death of Pamina's father, her mother, the Queen of the Night has lost her powers – her dying husband passed the sevenfold circle of the sun on to Sarastro, High Priest of the “Temple of Wisdom”. However she refuses to submit to the leadership of Sarastro and his followers and is determined to regain her power. To pre-empt her, Sarastro has kidnapped Pamina, the actual heiress of the Sun King. This wonderful production demonstrates Mozarts immerse skill in producing a wide variety of genres and styles.

Kultur is proud to present Mozart from the intimate setting of Sweden’s Drottningholm Court Theatre, dating back to 1766, providing a perfect stage for these operas and featuring excellent casts and superb Read more directors, accompanied by period instruments for a truly authentic experience.

“For true Mozart, stick with Drottningholm.”
- Gramophone

“Excellent standard… notable for the clarity of the period-instrument sound and for a production wholly appropriate to the tiny Drottningholm space.”
- Gramophone
