Synopsis
Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, or The Magic Flute, holds a special place in the hearts of opera lovers and it continues to inspire new and creative productions at opera houses around the world.
Straz Center’s Opera Tampa brings to life its own vision of this beloved German singspiel, or “spoken opera,’’ for the 25/26 season, offering audiences a mix of fairy tale and morality play, tunes and noble choral numbers. Mozart hit it out of the park with the coloratura aria “Queen of the Night”, which ranks among the most acrobatic numbers in all opera and alone worth the price of admission.
Follow the adventures of Tamino, Pamina, Papageno, Papagena, Monostatos and Sarastro in a distant land full of trials, wild animals, serpents and gods, all of which give Opera Tampa’s stage director a dreamscape canvas on which to paint imagery, lore and mysticism. By the way, unlike all the other operas on next season’s lineup, in The Magic Flute everybody lives happily ever after.
