Following the death of Pamina's father, her mother, the Queen of the Night, has lost her powers; her dying husband passed the sevenfold circle of the sun on to Sarastro, High Priest of the Temple of Wisdom . However she refuses to submit to the leadership of Sarastro and his followers and is determined to regain her power. To pre-empt her, Sarastro has kidnapped Pamina, the actual heiress of the Sun King. This wonderful production demonstrates Mozarts immerse skill in producing a wide variety of genres and styles. .
