  • POP brings back its 2019 season-opening tour-de-force production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute AKA #Superflute, set in classic video games from the early 1990s. The “super” production transports Papageno, Tamino, and the gang to the land of video games resembling Mario Bros. and Zelda with a new English libretto by Artistic Director Josh Shaw and E. Scott Levin. Opera Magazine wrote that the new production "could bring in a new generation of opera-goers” and Opera Today raved “Pacific Opera Project’s rollicking new take on The Magic Flute is as much endearing fun as a box full of puppies. And as ingenious Artistic Director Josh Shaw has reimagined the piece (marketed as #Superflute), the staging is also just about as relentlessly and adorably rambunctious, all the while proving to be commendably musically refined… I loved it. I think Mozart would have loved it. If not, to hell with him!”

    In a weird way, this is probably the truest to the spirit of the original

    This comes to Cincinnati this summer. I am totally going to see it. I showed my nearly seven year old daughter some clips of it. I might bring her because she loves Mario. Bravo everyone.

    I usually hate regieoper and complain about it, but this one works for me! It's accessable, it has its own consistent logic, it doesn't have regieoper cliches such as prostitutes and military uniforms, it doesn't promote stupid politics, it doesn't contradict the music, and it perfectly fits the weirdness and silliness of the Magic Flute.

    Nice parody, and very well performed. A very impressive Queen of the Night, and Pamina's "Ach, ich fühl's" was as moving as any serious production. My big objection is to cutting Tamino's meeting with the Speaker. That's the heart of the opera, the point where the landscape shifts. And, well, the shifting between serious and parodistic moments, on top of the mix of seriousness and comedy in the original, got a bit jarring sometimes. Specifically, Sarastro as a constant maker of puns didn't work for me. Still, I enjoyed it a lot. The Star Trek version of "The Abduction from the Seraglio" is still my favorite, though.

      “Today I saw someone do a Mozart Opera dressed as Mario. Clearly the West has fallen.” You are a parody.
