UK Opera returns to Lexington Opera House with 'Magic Flute'
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 7, 2022) — University of Kentucky Opera Theatre returns once again to the Lexington Opera House Sept. 30 through Oct. 2 with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s "The Magic Flute."
“See great opera at the Lexington Opera House!” said Everett McCorvey, D.M.A., director of UK Opera Theatre. “We have joy, beautiful singing, great storytelling to delight you, and a serpent to boot!”
Mozart’s timeless classic follows the adventures of Prince Tamino and his accidental sidekick, Papageno, as they set out to rescue the Queen of the Night's daughter, Pamina. But not all is as it seems along their journey. Armed with enchanted musical instruments, they are challenged through trials and tribulations as Mozart’s music carries them along their path of enlightenment versus ignorance, and understanding the virtues of knowledge, justice, wisdom and truth and, of course, finding true love!
