Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night, is kidnapped by Sarastro, the guardian of the circle of the sun. To free her, the queen sends the trickster Tamino and the bird catcher Papageno. Tamino possesses a magic flute that makes everyone dance when he plays it. But soon it turns out that everything is quite different from what it seems at first. Recommended from 6 years

DAS MÄRCHEN VON DER ZAUBERFLÖTE (WDR/ARD) is already the 56th fairy tale produced for the ARD series "Sechs auf einen Streich". It is an adaptation of "Lulu und die Zauberflöte" by Christoph Martin Wieland and the libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder from the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

--

In order to reach Sarastro's palace, Tamino must pass several tests and learn to transform from a selfish trickster into an upright hero. Papageno, meanwhile, who dreams of great love, befriends a helpful bird that assists them in their quest. Even before the two arrive at Sarastro's castle, Pamina manages to escape. But it soon turns out that everything is quite different than it first seemed. It is not Sarastros who strives for perfect power. Will Pamina, Tamino and Papageno succeed in recognizing their true enemies and preserving the balance between day and night?  (Text from rbb)
