From our Audiences:
If I could I would see it again and again and again... Everything about that show was ‘right’... You are a gift, MOT!... 
Another shining example of how MOT opened my eyes... IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE... I was unexpectedly emotional by the end with the clear, resounding poignancy of its message: drive out the darkness with light and love... This production is truly unbelievable... Wolfie woulda loved it!... Just as the Liszt transcriptions of Beethoven's Symphonies open the listener to being sensitive to things always there but previously unnoticed in the original orchestral version, so too does this production open the audience to things always in the MAGIC FLUTE but perhaps previously unnoticed.
​The production has been quite a revelation for me.
