About this title

Synopsis

Long out of print, the many adaptations that Russell has done of famous operas are finally collected again in three volumes, in the wake of his highly successful adaptation of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung. This first volume presents Mozart's most famous work, a farcical tale of love mixed with fantasy. Starring such unforgettable characters as the Queen of the Night, Prince Tamino, Princess Pamina, the evil Sarastro, the bird-catcher Papageno and his one true love Pagagena. In full-colour.
