Mozart: Die Zauberfl脙露te (Magic Flute) live from the Met in New York. Nathan Gunn as Papageno, Matthew Polenzani as Tamino and Julia Kleiter as Pamina. Conducted by Adam Fischer.
Tamino, trying to escape from a huge snake, trips and falls unconscious. Three ladies appear and kill the snake with their spears. When he recovers, Tamino sees dancing towards him an odd-looking man entirely covered with feathers. It is Papageno, a bird-catcher. He tells the astonished Tamino that this is the realm of the Queen of the Night.
The gods have plans for Tamino, but first he must prove that he is worthy of admission to the Temple of Light. Luckily Tamino has the assistance of his magic flute and eventually overcomes the ordeals that are put in his way.

Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira Siff. There will be live backstage interviews with members of the cast during the interval.
