“The Magic Flute” follows a teen on two journeys: one into a prestigious boarding school to fulfill his aspirations as a singer, and another into a parallel world filled with fantasy and adventure.
Tim (Jack Wolfe) has been dreaming his whole life about attending Mozart All Boys Music School, but already his first days there confront him with a hostile headmaster (played by F. Murray Abraham), the stresses of a first love, and serious doubts about the authenticity of his singing voice.
When he discovers a mystical gateway in the school’s library, he is pulled into the fantastic cosmos of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute, where imagination has no limits and the “Queen of the Night” (Sabine Devieilhe) reigns.
F. Murray Abraham plays the role of Dr. Longbow in the movie “The Magic Flute.” In 1985, he won the Oscar for “Best Actor” for his portrayal of Antonio Salieri in “Amadeus.”
In the following four decades, the veteran actor repeatedly affirmed his reputation as an outstanding character actor. Abraham is also known for playing the role of Bert Di Grasso in Season 2 of the Emmy award-winning series “The White Lotus.”
