In a dark fairy-tale kingdom of enchanted forests and strange beasts, Prince Tamino is saved from a monstrous serpent by three ladies who serve the Queen of the Night. She sends him to rescue her daughter Pamina from the high priest Sarastro, armed with a magic flute and accompanied by the bird-catcher Papageno, but in Sarastro's realm nothing is quite as he was told, and trials of silence, fire and water lie ahead.
