The Magic Flute

Presented by McCallum Theatre at McCallum Theatre

June 25, 2007

Karen Rae Kraut shares a storyteller's version of Mozart's last opera, "The Magic Flute," based on folklore and fictional sources popular in Mozart's time. Kraut is joined by opera singer Mark Almy and the two are supported by a sound score by musician/music director Paul Cracchiolo who adds elements of Mozart's brilliant music and segments of some of the most engaging arias from this work which caught on with the public immediately upon its opening on September 30, 1791. During the decade after its premiere it established a Europe-wide popularity that has hardly waned since. The music sparkles with charm, humor and folksong influences which make it as hummable as a Broadway musical. Almy sings multiple roles: the charming Prince Tamino, the comic side-kick and bird-catcher Papageno, and the regal high priest of Isis, Sarastro. Kraut also breaks into song during this performance, taking a turn as the Princess Pamina, and the bird-girl Papagena. Music, laughter, and the triumph of true love over giant serpents, lions, fire and water make this a very engaging introduction to the world of opera for students.
