The Met: The Magic Flute (Holiday Encore)
The abridged English-language Magic Flute that opened the Met's cinema series in December 2006, returned to theatres for the holidays. Julie Taymor's puppet-filled staging of Mozart's fairy tale features Matthew Polenzani as Tamino, Nathan Gunn as the bird-catcher Papageno and René Pape as Sarastro. A recorded performance of about two hours, suited to families and first-time opera-goers.
