The Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet named after Alexander Spendiaryan will bring “The Magic Flute” by one of the most celebrated composers of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to the Kuwait Opera stage for the first time within the frames of its inauguration.

This will be the first opera performance throughout Kuwait's history, Yerevan Opera Theater’s press service told Panorama.am.

Earlier in September, the opera theater held tours in Dubai, with “The Magic Flute” premiered at the newly opened Dubai Opera Theater.

Yerevan Opera Theater soloist Zohrab Zohrabyan, playing Sarastro in the performance, says “The Magic Flute” has never been presented in Armenia, only performed in concert format.

“The Magic Flute” is a tale, which illustrates the resplendent power of love, art and music, transporting audiences into a wonderful fantastical realm. The opera tells the story of Tamino, a young hero, sent on a quest by the Queen of Night to rescue her daughter, Pamina, from the wicked wizard, Sarastro.
