The opera is a great place to find love—just ask Papageno! Starting March 23, baritone Thomas Oliemans reprises his lovable portrayal of the bird catcher Papageno in Simon McBurney’s production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte! While we set the stage for this highly anticipated revival, watch Oliemans get up close and personal with the audience in this clip of Papageno’s Act II aria from the final dress rehearsal. Die Zauberflöte is on stage through April 26. Evan Rogister conducts. Book your tickets
