Andrew Constantine, conductor

Mozart’s final opera is one of the best-loved of all time. Semi-staged, this magical tale follows Prince Tamino and bird-catcher Papageno on an adventure to rescue Princess Pamina. Fantastical creatures and unexpected challenges make this light-hearted but profound examination of man’s search for love an instant favorite.

Mozart — The Magic Flute, K. 620 (Semi-Staged Opera)

Carousel in Concert
By Rodgers and Hammerstein
Andrew Constantine, conductor

This concert version of the beloved musical tells the tale of the carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, who captivates and marries a naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Their futures are altered by tragic circumstances, but Billy is allowed one more chance to make things right. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s brilliant score features cherished songs like If I Loved You, June Is Bustin' Out All Over, and You'll Never Walk Alone. Carousel is a dramatic testimony to the power of love.
