Maestro Duncan Ward makes his company debut conducting Julie Taymor's irresistible production. Tenors Ben Bliss and David Portillo share the role of Tamino, the noble prince on a quest to win the fair princess Pamina, sung by sopranos Joélle Harvey and Sydney Mancasola. The cast also features baritones Joshua Hopkins and Benjamin Taylor as the birdcatcher Papageno, soprano Aleksandra Olczyk as the Queen of the Night, and bass Soloman Howard as Sarastro.
On Sunday, December 18, all ticket holders for the 3pm matinee of The Magic Flute are invited to a free pre-performance Open House beginning at 1pm. Met artists and craftspeople lead a variety of hands-on activities and demonstrations for the whole family.
