review by Alex Brooks
Hubbard Hall has opened a production of The Magic Flute, Mozart’s last opera.
This is an amazingly ambitious and successful production, with a 19 piece live orchestra and a cast of 28. It’s full of laughs and great music and a wacky plot which is entertaining if confusing, and also often stirring. Somehow the whole package works, and it drew an extended standing ovation on opening night.
