"The Magic Flute" is Mozart's final opera, based on Schikaneder's libretto, telling the story of two men and women overcoming adversity to achieve love amid the dichotomous conflict between reason and emotion symbolized by night and day. Since its premiere, it has received endless love and applause from audiences worldwide for over 200 years.

In this performance, the dialogue is translated into Korean, but the music preserves the original feel, and the Baroque atmosphere of the original work is reinterpreted in a modern way so that students can easily enjoy the direction of various scenes.

In particular, this performance is supported by national funding following the selection in the Korea Culture and Arts Federation's "Bangbanggokgok Cultural Sympathy" public contest project, inviting students from special schools and geographically marginalized groups who wish to attend to watch the performance together.

Director Lee Haeseon of the Student Arts and Culture Center said, "I hope that through this performance experience shared by students, they will cultivate their artistic sensibility," and added, "We will continue to make efforts to foster students' artistic sensibility in the future."
