Since its premiere in 1791, "The Magic Flute" has always been one of the most beloved works in the operatic repertoire, and is presently the eighth most frequently performed opera in North America. The story itself portrays the education of mankind, progressing from chaos through superstition to rationalistic enlightenment, by means of trial and error, ultimately to make "the Earth a heavenly kingdom, and mortals like the gods"

Musical, "The Wizard of Oz"

8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 5, 6 and 7, in John M. Hall Auditorium (purchase tickets).

Adapted for the stage by L. Frank Baum himself, the original stage version of "The Wizard of Oz" tells the story of Dorothy and her pet cow (that's right-cow!), kidnapped by a twister and set down somewhere in the land of the Munchkins. There, they meet the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, and together with their new friends, they set off to find the Wizard in the Emerald City of Oz. "The Wizard of Oz" premiered at the Majestic Theatre on Jan. 20, 1903, with a cast that featured David Montgomery, Fred Stone, Anna Laughlin, Arthur Hill, Bessie Wynn, and Grace Kimball. The classic 1939 screen version featured Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, and Jack Haley, as well as a new score by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg.
