Shoestring Opera
The Shoestring Magic Flute
In-person or virtual performance
Shoestring Opera offers an ideal introduction to the glory of opera and the genius of Mozart. In this whimsical story, Allegra finds a golden flute on her way home from school. Blowing on it, her street turns into a dark forest. She blows again and out pops Papageno, a strange bird-catcher– with a padlock on his mouth! Through the power of music and the magic of make-believe, Allegra and Papageno embark on an adventure of sharing and self-discovery involving a four-legged, two-winged, fire-breathing dragon, and the even scarier Queen of the Night. How can Allegra help her new friend and get home in time for her music lesson?
