The Magic Flute - entire opera --

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlhbFk2GbcY a bit scratchy, and I don't like the muted palette and "western" staging, but music is always heart stopping. It's very interesting for me to watch it with the time line underneath, as the whole plot set up in 30 minutes. I liked the Kathleen Battle version best with sets and costumes by David Hockney. kmk
