POP brings back its 2019 season-opening tour-de-force production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute AKA #Superflute, set in classic video games from the early 1990s. The “super” production transports Papageno, Tamino, and the gang to the land of video games resembling Mario Bros. and Zelda with a new English libretto by Artistic Director Josh Shaw and E. Scott Levin. Opera Magazine wrote that the new production "could bring in a new generation of opera-goers” and Opera Today raved “Pacific Opera Project’s rollicking new take on The Magic Flute is as much endearing fun as a box full of puppies. And as ingenious Artistic Director Josh Shaw has reimagined the piece (marketed as #Superflute), the staging is also just about as relentlessly and adorably rambunctious, all the while proving to be commendably musically refined… I loved it. I think Mozart would have loved it. If not, to hell with him!”

The Magic Flute AKA #Superflute

El Portal Theater

All of Paris is a dizzying whirl in the life of Violetta, the most glamorous courtesan in high society. At last, she finds true love in shy, young Alfredo, but that same society — and her own illness — tear them apart in Verdi’s masterpiece.

La Traviata

Hillside Club

Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts

Legion of Honor

With profound, gorgeous and heartfelt music, Verdi’s beloved masterpiece tells the tale of the tragic love between a beautiful courtesan and her romantic suitor, set against the backdrop of the hypocrisy of upper-class, fashionable society.
