Mozart’s last opera is one of the most popular operas of all time and for good reason! Our semi-staged concert version, presented at the El Paso Scottish Rite Temple Theater, will showcase all of your favorite parts of this classic that is beloved for its music and colorful characters.

Family friendly in both length and price, Mozart’s The Magic Flute: In Concert is a magical fairy tale that features a stellar cast from around the country and will be El Paso Opera’s debut in one of El Paso’s most beautiful theaters!

Synopsis: Filled with ritual and symbolism, Mozart’s final masterpiece is a playful but profound look at man’s search for love and his struggle to attain wisdom and virtue. From the virtuosic arias of the Queen of the Night to the folksong-like melodies of the bird catcher Papageno, the full range of Mozart’s miraculous talent is on display in this magical fairy-tale opera. That The Magic Flute is a barely veiled Masonic allegory cannot be doubted. It acts, in fact, as a kind of introduction to the secret society. Its story celebrates the main themes of masonry: good vs. evil, enlightenment vs. ignorance, and the virtues of knowledge, justice, wisdom and truth. *Synopsis from San Francisco Opera
