The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with a holiday season favorite: The Magic Flute, Mozart’s fairy tale about the triumph of virtue, light, and love, in the Met’s production for families, sung in English and in one-act.

The Metropolitan Opera has settled labor contracts with two of its largest unions.

Piotr Buszewski and Janai Brugger are Tamino and Pamina, the young couple whose courage – and love – are put to the test. Rolando Villazón is the down-to-earth bird catcher Papageno, Katherine Lewek returns as the blazing Queen of the Night, and Brindley Sherratt is the wise Sarastro.
