We adapted “The Magic Flute” again because we like the piece a lot — its melody and its positive vibe. I hope to share the beauty and joy we feel in the song through “the Seven Virtues of the Magic Flute” performance. To allow participants and more friends to share our feelings, we adapted “The Magic Flute” into a Cantonese cartoon musical, and wrote Cantonese lyrics to all the selected songs. The adaptation mirrors the original work closely where the limited changes aim to facilitate children’s understanding of the story and their enjoyment of the positive energy.

By adapting “The Magic Flute” into a Cantonese musical and expressing the original German emotions in Cantonese, we reinterpret Mozart with a Hong Kong twist. The same line often repeats in different melodies to create layers.
