The Magic Flute

Tonight I saw Julie Taymor's production of Die Zauberflöte at The Met. As you'd expect from Taymor, the opera featured striking visuals and lots of puppets (this is the same director who staged The Lion King on Broadway and in the West End). The sets and lighting were beautifully conceived. The Mozart music was pretty terrific, too; Diana Damrau was especially strong as the Queen of the Night (I'm learning to appreciate coloratura soprano). A delightful performance overall.
