The Magic Flute

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Encore
December 06, 2025

Julie Taymor's (Broadway's 'The Lion King') astonishing English-language production of Mozart's enchanting fairy tale has become a beloved holiday tradition for family audiences.

The Met made history in December 2006 when it presented its first Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide: Julie Taymor's adaptation of Mozart's The Magic Flute. An abridged, English-language production conceived by the Tony Award-winning director of Broadway's The Lion King, this opera returns to select movie theaters for a special encore presentation during the holiday season. Taymor's whimsical production features a winning ensemble, including tenor Matthew Polenzani, baritone Nathan Gunn and bass René Pape. With dazzling puppets and a colorful setting, Mozart's enchanting musical fairy tale is one of the ultimate seasonal sensations for family audiences.
