A treasured holiday tradition, Mozart's heartwarming fairy tale takes the stage in the Met's abridged, English-language production by Julie Taymor-the Tony Award-winning director of Broadway's The Lion King. Featuring some of opera's most popular melodies and brought to life with colorful sets and costumes and dazzling puppetry, it's perfect for audiences of all ages.
World Premiere: Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden, Vienna, 1791. A sublime fairy tale that moves freely between earthy comedy and noble mysticism, The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte in the original German) was written for a theater located just outside Vienna with the clear intention of appealing to audiences from all walks of life. The story is told in a singspiel ("song-play") format characterized by separate musical numbers connected by dialogue and stage activity, an excellent structure for navigating the diverse moods, ranging from solemn to lighthearted, of the story and score.
