from our audiences

"Zie Magic Flute was a beautiful tonic for my midwinter blues... 

The voices were enchanting, the modernizations thoughtful and the use of the Shrine Temple breathtaking... 

Mozart’s Magic Flute has never been spunkier and more entertaining... 

If more companies had the creative vision of MOT, I feel the world of opera would be more alive."
