The Magic Flute (matinee) @ Seattle Opera (Seattle Center) (audio described)
Mar 2 @ 2:00 pm

Enter the whimsical world of Mozart with this beloved audience favorite in a striking new-to-Seattle production featuring eye-popping hand-drawn animation. Inspired by silent films, and featuring seamless interaction between onstage performers and animated visuals, Barrie Kosky’s colorful and energetic production comes to Seattle after receiving standing ovations at opera houses around the world.

In a quest to save the beautiful Pamina, Prince Tamino is joined by the bird catcher Papageno and is given a magic flute with extraordinary powers. The two face a vengeful Queen of the Night and many other trials that test their fidelity, love, and determination. But all ends well when truths are revealed and new love blossoms.

Sara Bareilles’s pop-rock musical is filled with scrumptious pie — so much pie — and is one of the most famous musicals from the past decade. It’s a story of friendship, chosen family, and embracing love from unexpected places. Jenna dreams of leaving behind a life she didn’t imagine for herself, and the announcement of a baking contest could be her ticket out. Supported by her best friends, Jenna chooses to open her heart to the messier parts of life, which certainly don’t come with a recipe.
