PRODUCTION OF THE MAGIC FLUTE
Williamstown, Massachusetts—The Metropolitan Opera’s broadcast production of The Magic Flute airs at the Clark Art Institute on Saturday, December 27 at 1 pm in the latest installment of the 2025–26 season of The Met: Live in HD.

Featuring some of opera’s most popular melodies and brought to life with colorful sets and costumes and dazzling puppetry, it’s perfect for audiences of all ages.
