The magic of SMU Opera Theatre’s The Magic Flute began months before the show. Directed by Hank Hammett, conducted by Martha Raley Peak Endowed Centennial Chair Paul Phillips, and with the incredible work of Meadows Costume Shop and Meadows’ M.F.A. students in Theatre/Design, the show was strikingly vivid.
