Opera Otago’s production of Mozart’s most
popular comic opera has been renovated by John Drummond for
today’s world and is performed by a cast of brilliant
young singers, including students from the University of

Judith Henley. Leading roles are sung by James Adams
(Tamino), Ingrid Fomison-Nurse (Queen of the Night), Sophie
Sparrow (Pamina), Robert Lindsay (Sarastro), Tyler Neumann
(Papageno) and Ben Madden (Monostatos).
