Genius. Inventive. Creative. This is how tenor Lawrence Brownlee, who is making his LA Opera debut as Prince Tamino, describes The Magic Flute in this in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the reboot of  Mozart’s classic from the Los Angeles Times.

The production which comes to LA Opera via Berlin’s Komische Oper, is generating a huge amount of buzz from audiences and critics alike with its homage to silent film and brilliant hand-drawn animation by Paul Barritt. Directed by 1927’s Suzanne Andrade and Komische’s Barrie Kosky, The Magic Flute has quickly become one of the hottest tickets in town.

The glowing reviews keep pouring in:

“That this will be a hit goes without saying…the concept works brilliantly…The audience laughed hysterically… There are many visual surprises…  - Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

“A whimsical and witty staging…James Conlon’s fleet conducting matched the light-hearted spirit of the show.” - Heidi Waleson, The Wall Street Journal

“Irresistible and ingenious… this production stays miraculously fresh, sustaining surprise and delight…”  -Zachary Woolfe, The New York Times

“An eye-opening, eye-popping, sumptuously sung production, directed by Suzanne Andrade and Barrie Kosky, with animation designed by Paul Barritt dazzled the audience at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. And it did it in a way that is so fresh and clever that it is irresistible.  You must see it to believe it!”  - Jim Farber, LA Daily News, San Gabriel Valley News Group

“Run, don't walk to the nearest browser and get your tickets to The Magic Flute... This one is a pure delight -- from wild stagecraft to exuberant song. It's a total reboot, and somewhere, up in musical heaven, Wolfgang is smiling.” - Marc Porter Zasada, Los Angeles Downtown News
