Metropolitan Opera: The Magic Flute

Karen Almond / Met Opera

The 2019-20 Metropolitan Opera Radio Broadcast season continues with Mozart’s classic fairy tale The Magic Flute, an abridged English-language adaptation that carries on the Met’s tradition of presenting opera for audiences of all ages at the holidays.

Lothar Koenigs conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in this beloved opera about the triumph of love and virtue.

The cast stars Ying Fang as Pamina and Kathryn Lewek as her ruthless mother the Queen of the Night, David Portillo as Prince Tamino, Joshua Hopkins as the lovelorn birdcatcher Papageno, and Soloman Howard as the wise Sarastro.

The Magic Flute will be heard live over Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 28.
