A new version of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, is coming to Somerset and the South West.
The Bluebirds Theatre Company will bring their production to the region this summer.
The show will feature opera singers, life-sized puppets, and a lively storyline.
It revolves around a family feud in the Circus of Light and the Circus of Night, with the great Mage Sarastro kidnapping his daughter, Pamina.
This action triggers the wrath of the Queen of the Night, who vows revenge.
The narrative is complemented by the antics of Papageno, who is perfecting his human cannonball act and looking for a girlfriend, and Prince Tamino, who is on a mission to rescue Pamina.
The production promises "great live music and a mixed cast of humans and puppets."
More information, including ticket details, is available at thebluebirds.org.uk.
The production will be performed at Glastonbury Abbey on Saturday, June 7; Halswell House in Bridgwater on Sunday, June 22; Montacute House in Yeovil on Saturday, June 28; Bridgwater Super Saturday on Saturday, July 5; Tacchi Morris Arts Centre in Taunton on Sunday, July 6; Pitney on Saturday, July 19; Speedwell Hall in Crewkerne on Saturday, July 26; and North Curry Church on Sunday, July 27.
