Washington D.C.’s Shakespeare Theatre Company is set to present “The Matchbox Magic Flute” starting on May 21.

Running through June 16, 2024, the production features Mary Zimmerman’s iconic take on the Mozart work in a unique setting that puts “big music in a small space.” The opera will feature a cast of 10 and an orchestra of five. The cast stars Billy Rude, Marlene Fernandez, Emily Rohm, Russell Mernagh, Tina Muñoz Pandya, Reese Parish, Shawn Pfautsch, Monica West, and Lauren Molina.

Amanda Dehnert conducts a version of the score that she arranged alongside Andre Pluess.

“I am delighted to bring Mary Zimmerman back to Washington, D.C., and to share this new take on opera in our most intimate theatre,” said Artistic Director Simon Godwin per an official press statement. “The Magic Flute is a wonderful work for young and old alike. Mary has engaged her glorious creative powers to make this a delightful and accessible event like no other.”

The production is sponsored by Shar Fune and Susan and Michael Pillsbury.
