... will be on PBS. It's absolutely wonderful!!!
It was a Magic Flute heard—and seen—around the world. Julie Taymor's dazzling English-
language adaptation of the Mozart masterpiece was an instant global hit when it was
broadcast live into movie theaters internationally last month. Tens of thousands of viewers
across the U.S., Canada, Japan and Europe experienced the inaugural broadcast of the Met's
revolutionary new "Live in HD" series of high-definition performance transmissions straight
from the Met stage.
On Wednesday, January 24, 2007, at 9:00 p.m. ET (check local listings), all the excitement of
this spectacular Magic Flute comes home to you on PBS, the first broadcast in a new opera
series, GREAT PERFORMANCES AT THE MET. Also to be shown in HD, the PBS series includes
five additional performances captured live in 2007—the largest number of complete Met
operas ever presented by PBS in one season.
Tune in to PBS to see why critics—as well as music lovers of all ages around the globe—fell in
love with the newest way to experience the thrill of the Met's 2006-07 season. The New York
Times heralded the Met's innovative adaptation of Fluteand said of the live HD performance,
"In movie theaters across the United States on Saturday, people did an odd thing during the
main attraction: They clapped."
