  3. Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE


Oklahoma City University presents The Magic Flute, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s beloved operatic fairy tale masterpiece, in three performances Feb. 17-19.

The Magic Flute – which debuted in 1791, three months before Mozart’s death -- is set in an enchanted world between the sun and the moon, where truth and lies co-exist and true love conquers all.

The mainstage production will feature a cast of 37, directed by guest artist Cynthia Stokes, and full 38-piece opera orchestra, under the direction of Jan McDaniel.

Performances at OCU’s Wanda L. Bass School of Music are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee on the historic Kirkpatrick stage, 2501 N. Blackwelder. The opera will be sung in the original German, with dialogue in English and translations projected above the stage.

Tickets ($15-30) are available from www.okcu.edu/tickets or 405.208.5227.

Mozart’s acclaimed score runs the gamut from the coloratura fireworks of the Queen of the Night to Tamino and Pamina’s lyrical duets and the bird-catcher Papageno’s folk-inspired arias.

An opening night dinner, featuring performances by OCU musicians, will be held 6:15 p.m. Friday in the Atrium of the Bass Music Center. Tickets ($25) in advance from 405.208.5227.

A free director’s talk by guest director Cynthia Stokes will be held 45 minutes before curtain.

The production will feature original costumes designed by Alison Winsby, scenic design by Robin Vest-Coleman and lighting design by Preston Hunt.

OCU’s Oklahoma Opera and Music Theater Company’s 64th season continues Feb. 24-26 with a Spotlight production of Jacques Offenbach’s comic operetta Orpheus in the Underworld, followed April 21-23 with Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, winner of Winner of two Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Details and tickets: www.okcu.edu/tickets.
