The P. Craig Russell Library of Opera Adaptations #1

This volume collects P. Craig Russell's acclaimed graphic adaptation of Mozart's The Magic Flute, the first in a series of opera translations into comics form. Russell's lush, detailed artwork brings the fantastical story of Prince Tamino, Princess Pamina, and the trials of the Queen of the Night to life, staying faithful to the opera's narrative while offering a visual interpretation that stands on its own. Published by NBM in 2003, this edition marks the beginning of Russell's ongoing project to adapt classic operas into sequential art.
