25 years ago, El Paso Opera presented as a part of its very first season Mozart’s masterwork The Magic Flute. This celebratory season, we bring back its beloved music and colorful characters in a concert version within the historic walls of the most appropriate of venues, the monumental El Paso Scottish Rite Temple Theatre.
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.

The Magic Flute by Mozart, From (2019/2019), Directed by Mirco Michelon,, Conductor Brian DeMaris, Bruce Grant, Scottish Rite Temple Theater, El Paso, United States
