The Magic Flute (Encore)
Before the live broadcasts return from the Metropolitan Opera, The Met: Live in HD will bring back a classic when THE MAGIC FLUTE returns to AMC Theatres across the country. This abridged version of Mozart’s beloved composition was originally recorded in 2006, but the timeless quality of its music and the painstakingly crafted puppets involved in its story might make it seem as if it’s being shown for the first time.
