Every now and then we need a night at the theatre which just makes us smile. Dominic Cooke’s warm and witty production of The Magic Flute does just that. The combination of Mozart’s sublime music and Cooke’s surreal staging featuring an angry lobster, a newspaper reading lion and a fish that is also a bicycle adds up to an irrepressibly entertaining evening.
