“The Magic Flute,” by W.A. Mozart, is a 2-act opera performed in English.

“This is one of Mozart's most popular operas,” Dr. Mark Bradley, professor of music, said. “It has the classic battle between darkness and light or goodness and evil.”

Bradley said the production has “great singing voices, comedy, serious dramatic action, some fantasy and a lot of beautiful music.”
