OPERA OVERVIEW -- Journey into Love. Adventure into Fantasy.
Infiltrate the castle. Rescue the princess. Bring her home. That’s the mission that unites two unlikely allies: a dashing young prince and a bumbling bird-catcher, armed only with a set of magical musical instruments. Their journey into a world of sorcerers and serpents, spirits and secrets, takes an unexpected turn in The Magic Flute, a fairy-tale quest for love and wisdom. Mozart’s final opera comes alive in an acclaimed, inventive production from Barrie Kosky and Suzanne Andrade, conjured from the topsy-turvy delights of silent cinema, 1920s cabaret, early Hollywood animation, and the illustrator Edward Gorey. Music Director Eun Sun Kim takes us on a humanistic journey of awakening with some of the most sublime music ever written by Mozart.

NOTE:
- If you use a walker or wheelchair, notify the organizer at least five days prior to the event so we can ensure enough accessible seating for those who need it.
- As a courtesy, if you register & get a confirmed ticket for this event, please show up on time or cancel as far as you can in advance if you cannot attend. We've had problems with people registering for limited capacity events and not showing up, which deprives others of the opportunity and causes our organizers worry about and possibly delay the rest of the group waiting for missing people. If you are confirmed for a ticket and can't make it, simply reply to the confirmation email or the organizer as soon as you can to let us know if you need to cancel. Tickets will be handed out at the meeting spot near the Opera House before the performance.
Online registration for this event closes on May 23, 2024.
