Meanwhile, Mozart’s The Magic Flute was Mozart’s third and final opera, which premiered in 1791 to critical acclaim.This jaw-dropping opera, composed by Mozart, is full of spectacular set designs and brilliant costumes.
2. These story-lines are full of drama, passion and colour

While Carmen is a dramatic love story, set in Spain, and features a love triangle, drama, and romance.

3. Carmen is the ultimate femme fatale
It’s set in Spain, and tells the story of Don José – the soldier who is seduced by Carmen, the feisty gypsy. She’s colourful, dramatic, and you’ll love her sass.
She’s a power-house with a brilliant voice, and a real charm…and the lads love her.
This one will be performed in French, with English and Arabic surtitles.
