WQXR to Present THE MAGIC FLUTE For Kids, 11/23

As part of "Month of Mozart", a month long celebration of all things Mozart, WQXR, New York City's all-classical station, will present two 90 minute performances of the beloved classical The Magic Flute by the AMORE OPERA on Saturday, November 23 at 11:30AM and 2:30PM at its live event venue, The Greene Space.
