Performer: Julie Taymor

Julie Taymor's whimsical 2004 staging of Mozart's Singspiel continues to please in the Met's condensed, English-language version.

New York City's Metropolitan Opera restages its shorter, family-friendly version of Mozart's The Magic Flute with great music and delightful visuals.

The musical experience was dominated by the imagery making spectators feel, at least at times, overwhelmed.
