I was hooked to the idea of adapting this narrative for the big screen right away.
“I was happy to support the filmmaking team’s noti on when they came to me with it. The entire team used fascinating and creative methods to translate their wonderful vision onto the screen. I’m excited for Shout! Studios to provide this epic trip to viewers so they can once again be mesmerised by the critically acclaimed and internationally renowned music,” he continued.
The Magic Flute Trailer
Tim’s life at the Mozart All Boys Music School is depicted in the trailer. There, he is transported into the world of Mozart’s famous opera and encounters figures that are larger than life, such as the Sarastro, the Queen of the Night, and a gigantic serpent.
According to the official plot summary, the movie is “an engrossing story that follows an adolescent on two journeys: one into a prestigious boarding school to fulfil his goals as a singer, and another into a parallel world full with imagination and adventure.”
Tim has spent his whole childhood fantasising about entering Mozart All Boys Music School, but his first few weeks there immediately present him with a nasty headmaster, the strains of a new relationship, and significant concerns about the sincerity of his singing voice.
The passage continues, “When he finds a mysterious portal in the school library, he is drawn into the wonderful universe of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute, where imagination has no bounds and the Queen of the Night reigns.
