We chatted to Soraya Mafi (who is playing the character, Isabelle Baglio in Opera North's The Magic Flute. The production takes centre stage at Lowry, Salford on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th March 2025.
Step into the adventure.
In one of the greatest operas ever written, the dashing prince Tamino is on a quest to find love and happiness. With the bird-catcher Papageno at his side and armed with a magic flute, he must battle trials, tribulations and an evil sorcerer to rescue the imprisoned Pamina. Yet just when success seems within reach, the Queen of the Night has a final surprise in store…
The Magic Flute is the ideal introduction to opera for everyone, packed with fantasy, romance and daring. James Brining’s production, Colin Richmond’s shape-shifting design and Mozart’s musical fireworks make for a dizzying, magical ride through a world where nothing is quite as it first appears.
