5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Edited down version of the Magic Flute
If you are tired of hearing every Disney song with a disco or rap beat on a drum machine this CD is the alternative. Nicely presented abridged version of the story with great excerpts and a wonderfull young women in the cast. My kids love the story and the music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watered down classic.
I might have rated this CD higher if I hadn't heard Classical Kids "Beethoven" and "Bach" CDs first. This is, unfortunately, a watered down, "Disneyised" version of Mozart's opera. Neither faithfull to the story, or in my opinion to the music. Still better than most of the stuff tossed out for children, but only a small step above...

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful way to get your children interested in classical, June 12, 1998
By A Customer
This is a wonderful CD for children new to classical music. It mixes Mozart's music with a story, the search for love and the realization of the magic flute as the source of love. Young children, even four and under, will be humming Mozart and remembering parts of the story. All others by Classical Kids are equally good. Bethoveen Lives Upstairs is the best one, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids love this!, July 26, 2009
By 
G. Bishop (Westminster, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My kids (ages 7 and 3) love this CD! I checked it out from the library, thinking they (and I) could get a little exposure to classical music. They love the story and music and ask to listen to it over and over. Several times a day, my 3-year-old will point at me and, with an evil expression, sing the Queen of the Night's aria..."See the darkness in my hand!" After listening to this CD, we got the Ingmar Bergman "Magic Flute" movie, which they have watched more than once. My 3-year-old even wants to have a "Magic Flute" themed birthday party! If you want your kids to become opera fans, this is the perfect introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars My granddaughter loves this, July 29, 2008
This review is from: Mozart's Magic Fantasy (Audio Cassette)
A young girl, Sarah, becomes intertwined into Mozart's Magic Flute opera. She participates in the action, while Mozart's music plays. This is very appealing to young children, and would be a great introduction into opera for a young child. It has monsters (the serpent), magic and a battle between good and evil. My granddaughter listens to this over and over and never seems to tire of it. A strong recommendation for all young ones, as an introduction to great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's wonderful..., April 18, 2004
I listened to this tape when I was very little, probably about three. It captivated me then, and instilled in me a fascination with this opera that haunts me still, over 12 years later. I would definately recommend it for your children!
