The Magic Flute

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Ingmar Bergman 's ravishing production of Mozart's pantomime-opera is regarded as one of the finest filmed operas.
Shot in a replica of the 18th-century Drottningholm Theatre, Bergman's staging uses traditional techniques and scenery to highlight the pantomime fun of a prince rescued from a dragon, deceived by a wicked queen and subjected to trial by ordeal to win the hand of the beautiful princess. Sung in Swedish with English subtitles.
