About This Event

Introduce your child to the wonder of live opera in a playful, approachable way.

The Magic Flute & The Lost Prince for Kids combines Mozart’s unforgettable music with a brand-new story crafted just for young audiences. Kids will cheer for a brave prince, giggle with a silly bird-catcher, and help bring a magical forest to life—all in under an hour.

Perfect for families and first-time opera-goers, these special 11:00 am and 2:00 pm matinee performances at The Phipps Center for the Arts are the culmination of a school tour reaching students across the St. Croix Valley and Twin Cities metro.

This opera adventure is designed as a “first opera” experience: fast-paced, interactive, and full of heart.
