ABCCINEMAS

The Met made history in December 2006 when it presented its first Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide: the abridged English-language version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Julie Taymor’s whimsical production features a winning ensemble—including tenor Matthew Polenzani, baritone Nathan Gunn, and bass René Pape—and returns to select movie theaters for a special encore presentation during the holiday season.
