OPERA NIGHT WITH PAUL HERRIOTT

The Met’s abridged, family-friendly version of Mozart’s musical fairy tale returns. Maestro Duncan Ward makes his company debut conducting Julie Taymor’s irresistible production. Tenors Ben Bliss and David Portillo share the role of Tamino, the noble prince on a quest to win the fair princess Pamina, sung by soprano Erin Morley. The cast also features baritone Lawrence Brownlee as the birdcatcher Papageno, soprano Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night, and bass Stephen Milling as Sarastro.
