We just got back from a delightful production by Boston Lyric Opera -- "Magic Flute". This was a family version, fully staged in one hour, with English subtitles scrolling on two small screens and a live orchestra. The hall was full of kids, who clapped and yelled, sometimes, over enthusiastically, bravo!
The decorations and the costumes we really great, and the dragon head was just spectacular. Mozart music is always nice, and the singing was good too. Gwyneth actually was able to follow along reading the subtitles for the most part, though, as usual, she knew the story by heart by the time we entered the concert hall.
Gwyneth liked Papageno character and signing, and I --- the Queen of the Night.
