The Magic Flute / Trollflöjten
Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 2pm

Introduction, post-screening talk and Q&A with special guest speaker John Simon, longtime theater and film critic for New York magazine and other publications. A complimentary reception in the Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery will follow the event.

Cinematic Opera / Operatic Cinema: Reflections on the Merging of Media ~ a collaboration between the Film Society of Lincoln Center and New York City Opera. Click here for the entire 2008-09 season.

This delightful rendition of Tamino and Papageno’s remarkable journey in search of love was filmed on a sound stage in Stockholm’s 18th-century Drottningholm Court Theater, filled with beautiful, inventive sets. The singers are uniformly excellent, while Bergman emphasizes the full theatrical experience by integrating the audience’s responses and backstage events within the opera itself. In 1976, the National Society of Film Critics gave Ingmar Bergman a special award “for demonstrating how pleasurable opera can be on film.” We’d be the last to disagree.

The Magic Flute / Trollflöjten
Ingmar Bergman, Sweden, 1975; 135m

The screenings in this unique investigation of film and opera’s intricate relationship will be introduced and followed by a talk and Q&A with an esteemed film critic. A complimentary reception in the Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery will follow each event. The series culminates in a Plenary Panel Discussion moderated by Richard Peña, with Atom Egoyan, Julie Taymor, and other distinguished directors who have brought opera and film together.

Admission is $35 public, $25 Film Society members, $15 student/senior(62+) for each of the screenings and also for the panel. A PASS to all three events is $75. Online: Visa & MasterCard, $2.50 surcharge per ticket, $5.00 surcharge per series pass; Walter Reade Theater box office: cash transactions only.
