"...This was another of those wonderful performances where conductor James Conlon brings out Mozart sonorities that many of us did not realize were in the work. His tempi were brisk, neither too fast nor too slow. He led the orchestra in a luminous and translucent rendition of this well loved opera and the sold-out house thanked him with thunderous applause.

"...Times have certainly changed since The Magic Flute premiered in 1791. In the work, each gender, class, and race has their defined role, a place in the world out of which they dare not step. This theme is made all the more evident in a staging where actors are similarly confined, though through their order great beauty is achieved. And yet, in the show's final moments, this order is restructured. A new era dawns, trumpeting a world where equality, love, and reason are celebrated. No matter how this story is told - and this unique, stylized production tells it magically - at its journey's end a more harmonious world begins. Especially in a work plagued with the biases of its day, there's nothing as timeless and forgiving as that."
