The Met made history in December 2006 when it presented its first Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide: the abridged English-language version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Julie Taymor’s whimsical production features a winning ensemble, including tenor Matthew Polenzani, baritone Nathan Gunn, and bass René Pape. The opera returns to select movie theaters for a special encore presentation during the holiday season.
The Hyde Collection is proud to be the regional provider of the 2023-24 Met Opera Live season. Pre-screening programming is provided in partnership with The Sembrich.
