The Magic Flute, Die Zauberflote

"The LA Opera production is a lavish cartoon world…and the animals designer Gerald Scarfe creates are the most bewitching this side of Broadway's The Lion King." -Los Angeles Times
What a very special evening at the opera! Legendary English visual artist, satirist, and cartoonist Gerald Scarfe designed the fantastic sets and eyecatching costumes for this Peter Hall production. The Magic Flute is both a fanciful fairy tale and an allegory hinting at deeper mysteries. Positively enchanting. If the Queen of the Night, let me borrow her costume, I could think of the perfect ocassion to wear it! http://laopera.com/
