About the Event
Choose your side in the contest between the sun and the night, between masculine and feminine, between chaos and order. Simon McBurney's acclaimed production of Mozart's most philosphical opera returns to the Coliseum to delight London audiences once more.
Celebrated soprano Lucy Crowe sings Pamina opposite the acclaimed young tenor Rupert Charlesworth, with international star Thomas Oliemans singing his signature role, Papageno.
