True love is never easy. Especially when there's a giant spider chasing you. And she's your mom.
“A wonderful show… great for the holidays; great for opera lovers, newbies... Simply let yourself be astonished”
A dazzling celebration of love conquering all, The Magic Flute transported audiences into an enchanted world where good battles the forces of darkness.
With the seamless interaction between onstage performers and projected hand-drawn animation, this inventive and charming interpretation brilliantly captures Mozart's delightful blend of high comedy and adventure.
