The Magic Flute at Opera Maine

To celebrate its 25th Anniversary-and the magic of opera-Opera Maine presents its first-ever production of Mozarts The Magic Flute. The magnificent music and captivating story create a fantasy world, where a prince and a bird catcher set out on a trial-filled journey to rescue a beautiful princess. Armed with a magic flute and enchanted bells, they confront bewildering forces of good and evil and discover enlightenment and the power of love. The twisting tale has enthralled young and old alike since the opera's premiere in 1791, less than three months before Mozart's death. Opera Maine's production of The Magic Flute will be presented at Merrill Auditorium on Wednesday, July 24 and Friday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. The opera will be sung in German, with English dialogue and supertitles. Roberto Kalb will conduct and Artistic Director Dona D. Vaughn directs the talented cast.
