The Magic Flute
We only see Bergman, we only hear Mozart
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Produced by Sveriges Radio
A visually sumptuous operatic fantasy about love, transformation, and enlightenment, grounded in Mozart's transcendent music and Bergman's theatrical staging.
The Queen of the Night enlists a handsome prince named Tamino to rescue her beautiful kidnapped daughter, Princess Pamina, in this screen adaptation of the beloved Mozart opera. Aided by the lovelorn bird hunter Papageno and a magical flute that holds the power to change the hearts of men, young Tamino embarks on a quest for true love, leading to the evil Sarastro's temple where Pamina is held captive.
