Conduct. Goodness. Honor. Truth. Spirituality. Morality. Adversity. Imagination. Whimsy. Innocence. Humor. Wonder. The Magic Flute, one of the most popular and appealing operas of all time, opened at Meadows’ Bob Hope Theatre on February 4. Full of enchanting, magical melodies and fantastical creatures, it brings Mozart’s genius to the fore in this, his last and greatest opera. SMU Opera Theatre’s presentation featured a new English translation by Kelley Rourke, with English supertitles.
Photographer Kim Leeson went behind the scenes to capture a dress rehearsal, bringing back these stunning photos.
