The Magic Flute at Sandler Center for the Performing Arts

Join the dashing Prince Tamino in his quest for truth, honor, and a beautiful damsel in distress, who—true to fairytale form—he falls madly in love with, despite having never met. Mozart's fantastical tale draws you into a world of magic-realism, complete with a giant serpent, moody monarchs, a secret brotherhood, and one very lovesick bird catcher. This charming opera, which is a profound exploration of the limits of loyalty and love, has been enchanting believers of all ages for over 200 years.

The fun unfolds around a star-studded cast that welcomes several anticipated returns: Matthew Plenk (The Mikado, 2012) plays the brave, love-struck Tamino whose adventurous pursuits lead him to the arms of his princess; David Pershall (The Pearl Fishers, 2012) lends comic-relief as the prince's sidekick Papageno; and the regal Heather Buck (Orphée & The Pearl Fishers, 2012) reigns as Queen of the Night. Nadine Sierra joins the trio in her company debut as Pamina.
