The Manga Flute

Manga meets Mozart in this colorful production. The imaginative David Scott Marley has reinterpreted Mozart’s beloved Magic Flute through the lens of a manga comic book. The plot couldn’t be more appropriate: “A young prince, lost in a world where magical monsters menace and the powers of night and day wrestle for domination, strikes out to save a princess.” Families will appreciate the short running time of two hours, plus the work is sung in English, with Eugene Brancoveanu starring as Papageno.
