Title: Best I've ever seen!!! Truly entertaining! Don't miss it!
Product review: This production of The Magic Flute just plain blew me away! I've seen six others and this one is by far the best! The costumes and sets are magical, just what this fantasy opera requires. The English translation is true to the story and fits the music perfectly. Further, the diction of all the singers was clear as a bell.There are no weak links in the cast; all were superb. But, I particularly loved Nathan Gunn's athletic Papageno and Matthew Polenzani's Tamino. Erika Miklosa's Queen of the Night was likewise wonderful, including her negotiations of her elaborate costumes. The only off key notes of the opera were rather endearing, coming from the high notes of the three young boys, called "spirits" in this English production.I think Mozart would love this version. I know I'll watch this again and again. This would be a great gift for a Mozart fan. I recommend it highly.
