A feminist revisioning of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, directed by Keturah Stickann with a new English libretto translation by Susan Bernofsky. Livestream tickets available.
Pamina is stuck in a violent riff between her mother and father, who both think they should raise her alone. When she is kidnapped by her father, her mother (who also happens to be the powerful Queen of the Night) enlists the help of young Prince Tamino and her hapless birdcatcher, Papageno, to bring her daughter back. Part fantasy adventure tale, part family drama, Mozart’s infectious music, and a witty new libretto translation by Susan Bernofsky will evoke raucous laughter and endless tears in this classic opera that reminds us we are all worthy of love.
