OPERA INVITATION
Please join other members of the DePaul Emeritus Society at the matinee performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute by DePaul Opera Theatre: Sunday, March 15, 2:00 p.m. at the Merle Reskin Theatre, 60 E. Balbo
Drive. For tickets in our group, contact
Helen Marlborough (hmarlbor@depaul.edu)
or Alice Farrell (afarrell@depaul.edu)
no later than Friday, March 6.
This is a great opera for both opera fans and first-time
audiences. As the university’s News
Release summarizes it,
“The
Magic Flute” is a story of magic, wonder and love conquering all. The opera
tells the story of Tamino, a young hero who is sent on a mission by the Queenof
Night to rescue her daughter Pamina from the clutches of the evil wizard
Sarastro. He must use the help of his sidekick Papageno and the powers of the
titular flute to survive the trials of Sarastro’s temple. However, not
everything is how it seems. . . .
The
opera combines Mozart’s music, a timeless story, colorful characters and
Maxfield Parrish-inspired costumes and scenery. This opera is perfect for
families and has both sung and spoken dialogue. It will be presented in
English.
Join us on March 15 at 2:00! And if you have already bought your own
tickets, you can still find us in the lobby before the performance, and say
hello.
