Yes. It's a German-language production, sung and narrated in German. Kids who already know the story or the music will follow along more easily.

How early should we arrive?

Doors open an hour before the show. The box office and the entrance are the same desk in the foyer: give your surname to collect booked tickets.

Can we choose our seats?

No. The theater assigns seats once all bookings are in, so there's no free seating.

Can we get a refund if a kid gets sick?

Tickets can't be returned. Pass them on to friends, or ask the theater about rebooking for a fee, which may not be possible for sold-out or last-minute dates.

About

A shortened family version of Mozart's The Magic Flute, keeping the famous music but not the full-length run. Three singers, a narrator and a one-person keyboard "orchestra" tell the story of Prince Tamino, Papageno the bird-catcher and the Queen of the Night, pitched at grown-ups as much as kids. It's performed in German, and works best for kids who already enjoy music and a good story.

Kids €9, adults €20
