THE MAGIC FLUTE
Tickets on Sale March 28, 2023!
MassOpera welcomes you to the ultimate opera-fantasy retold through a reimagined new English libretto by Kelley Rourke and staging from renowned Boston-based theatre director, Pascale Florestal. The forces of good and evil, light and dark, fire and water battle it out in Mozart’s famous fantasy opera.
The planet is in crisis. Three young seekers are drawn into an age-old cosmic battle, in which each side blames the other for the fate of the planet. Through a series of trials, our heroes’ only hope is through shattering the binary of good vs evil.
Forging a new partnership with Suffolk University and their Modern Theatre space, as well as showcasing several students from MassOpera’s Artist Training Program with Longy School of Music at Bard College, we are thrilled to bring you one of the largest casts in MO history. And to top it all off, it is our first time performing in Downtown Boston!
