Musical Arts Center * Refreshments Provided * SIGN-UP REQUIRED

What goes on behind the scenes before a major opera production? Join master scenic designer C. David Higgins for an onstage, behind-the-scenes tour of the Musical Arts Center's new production of Mozart's The Magic Flute to learn about all that goes into creating the magic of an opera. The MAC is one of the country's premier opera houses—only the Metropolitan in New York City has a larger stage. After a break for refreshments, you will then have the opportunity to watch as much of the dress rehearsal of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, with full orchestral accompaniment and complete staging and costumes, as your schedule permits!

One of the most beloved operas ever written, The Magic Flute deals with good and evil, love, and the fantastical. A Singspiel, the arias will be sung in German and the dialogue spoken in English.
