The Magic Flute Photo Album



Act II

The Speaker of the Temple (Isaac Miller) questions Sarastro about Tamino’s qualifications and expresses his concern that the trials designed for royalty may be too stringent — what if he should fail — after all, he is a prince. “More than that,” Sarastro (Andrew Martens) assures him, “he is a man.”

Tamino and Papageno are warned by the priests (Isaac Miller, left and D’André Williams, right) to beware the cunning of those who would deceive them. Too often man finds himself flattered by what he would like to hear, missing the reason for the flattery until it is too late.

“Why, why, why do you remain within the walls of this temple where the priests are determined to destroy you?” the Three Ladies (Jennifer Trimboli, Kalyna Cholhan and Christa Damaris) demand of Papageno (Peter Clark).

Monostatos lusts after Pamina and expresses the madness of this love...

In a frenzy, as hope of ultimate power slips through her fingers, the Queen (Heather Connolly) seeks revenge on Sarastro as the only avenue left open to her. She demands that her daughter, Pamina (Victoria Wolfe) kill him with the knife she has supplied for the occasion.

If you will not love me, and if you will not kill Sarastro, then die! Monostatos (Lawrence Street) tells Pamina (Victoria Wolfe).

Stopping Monostatos in the act of killing Pamina, Sarastro (Andrew Martens) explains that within this Temple of Wisdom, revenge is unknown — to forgive is the noble plan by which they live.

The Three Spirits arrive, returning to Tamino his magic flute and, to Pappageno, his magic bells. They also deliver a sumptuous feast and the admonition, once again, for silence, courage and steadfastness. First Spirit: Vera Massarotto; Second Spirit: Leslie Schipa; Third Spirit: Barbara Burnham Fox; Tamino: Michael Posey; Papageno: Peter Clark.

No siree, I wouldn’t leave this feast even if Lord Sarastro sent one of his lions after me!
Papageno (Peter Clark)
Lion (Joshua Parrillo)

The priests ask the gods Isis and Osiris to watch over Tamino in his trials and to bring him to an understanding of what it is to be a wise, just and beneficent ruler.
