The San Francisco Opera’s annual production of Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’, is wildly popular, but may not thrill your average kid. So for the young ones, there’s Donald Pippin’s Pocket Opera, which again this year presents ‘A Mini Magic Flute’ a one-hour version of the enchanting opera designed especially for children. Using minimal scenic elements and a pocketsize philharmonic on stage with the singers, Pippin conducts this tale of a young prince who is aided in the search for a kidnapped daughter by a magic flute.
