Nathalie Stutzmann conducts Mozart's fairy-tale comedy at the New York Metropolitan Opera, starring Erin Morley as Pamina and Lawrence Brownlee as Tamino, the Prince who hopes to win her, with only a magic flute to protect him against the dark powers of her mother the Queen of the Night. The Freemasonry-inspired story (both Mozart his librettist were Masons) is frankly bonkers, so sit back and enjoy the music and the stage high jinks. This daring new staging by English director Simon McBurney raises the orchestra pit so that singers and players can interact, and was hailed by The Wall Street Journal's critic as "the best production I鈥檝e ever witnessed of Mozart鈥檚 opera".

Presented by Debra Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff.
