Opera Columbus to Present ‘The Temple’

By Francisco Salazar

Opera Columbus is set to conclude its 42nd season with a new take on Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.”

The company will present “A Magic Flute Experience: The Temple” which will run between April 19 and 28. The performances will be held at a secret, speakeasy location in Downtown Columbus which will be revealed to ticket holders 36 hours before their performance.

The opening night performance is sold out and the rest of the six-show run has very limited capacity.

Originally conceived by Julia Noulin-Mérat, Opera Columbus’ General Director + CEO, the production will be reimagined and directed by Allegra Libonati, and musically arranged and directed by Que Jones.

In a statement, Noulin-Mérat said, “It’s no secret that at Opera Columbus, we believe that opera is for everyone. ‘The Temple’ is unlike anything we have ever done in the history of the company, and I think that people of all walks of life will love this experience. If you like Broadway, immersive shows, circus, High Fashion, witty comedy, to have a good time with friends, beautiful music and memorable experience, this is the production for you!”

The performances will star Brian Wallin as Tamino, Eric McKeever as Papageno, Erica Gabriel as Queen of the Night, Bizhou Chang as Pamina, and Marcy Richardson as Papagena.
