A
story of magic, cronies, and true love conquering all, The Magic Flute
transports us into an enchanted world where good faces the forces of darkness.
Under the musical direction of Jack Gaughan, Sin City Opera presents an
original take on the story with signature staging by SCO Artistic Director,
Skip Galla. Packed with exquisite singing and stage wizardry by Bill Smith and
Magic Ventures and introducing the corps de ballet under the direction of Mary
Aluas, Artistic Director of The Pink Tutu Ballet, Mozart's delightful blend of
high comedy and serious drama will enchant young and old alike. Skip Galla directs, promising a lively and
approachable adaptation of Mozart’s brilliant classic opera. “This free admission outdoor show is part of
our education outreach to our community, an excellent and easy introduction to
opera as we know it today in our fair city,” states Skip Galla.
