What more could you want for a gripping story than a noble prince, gruesome monsters, an evil queen, a princess in distress, dangerous trials, and a cheerful birdcatcher?

The forest kindergarten “Die Frischlinge” shows just how much Mozart’s The Magic Flute can inspire children. Nina Steuerwald and her team explore the opera’s fascinating and contradictory characters with their young group and bring them to life in an imaginative and creative way. Through acting, singing, and self-made props and costumes, the children step into the roles of Tamino, Papageno, the Queen of the Night, and all the other characters. In the background, organ music can be heard, played by Ulrike Heubeck, who is involved in this project with the kindergarten.

Everyone, young and old, is invited to the Paulskirche to be enchanted. After the performance, the celebration continues on the forecourt with coffee and cake.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the project “Future of the Paulskirche”.
