The Magic Flute (2006 Encore)

The Met’s first-ever Live in HD transmission—the abridged, English-language version of Mozart's The Magic Flute—comes to Bay Street this holiday season. Tony Award–winner Julie Taymor conjures a spellbinding staging, replete with a kaleidoscope of color and parades of puppetry in this delightful production from 2006, featuring a stellar cast of Met stars including tenor Matthew Polenzani, baritone Nathan Gunn, and bass René Pape.

 

Bay Street is thrilled to be partnering with the Met to bring their 2022-2023 season to the east end. From December 2022 through next fall, audiences will be able to experience eleven spectacular productions, with nearly half of them broadcasting live, transmitted directly from The Met’s stage in New York City. With a mix of company premieres, new productions, and classic repertory favorites the season is set to deliver incredible performances at Bay Street through September 2023. 

 

Theatergoers have the choice of purchasing tickets for the entire 11 part series at nearly half price at just $150 or purchasing for individual screenings at $35 per ticket, and $25 for subscribers and patrons.
