The Magic Flute by W.A. Mozart
The Magic Flute by W.A. Mozart
Sung in German with English dialogue and translations projected above the stage.
Love and loyalty propel Mozart’s final opera as we journey with Prince Tamino through trials and tribulations, which are overcome by perseverance and victory. A brilliant combination of comedy and profundity, it is no wonder that this operatic fantasy sits high among the most popular operas of all time. A vindictive queen, a lovesick bird catcher, and a clan of high priests enliven Tamino’s quest for his newfound love, Pamina. Returning artists include Kyle Pfortmiller as Papageno, Vale Rideout as Tamino, Sarah Beckham as Pamina, and Jeffrey Beruan as Sarastro in this new production by Nelson Sheeley.
