Mozart

Mozart's The Magic Flute is one of the most complete works of art I know.  Often underestimated, it has everything from comedy, to drama, to the profound nature of good and evil, light and dark.  SF Opera's recent production, with sets and costumes by Jun Kaneko, affirm that Mozart is always fresh and modern.  And Albina Shagimuratova's Queen of the Night was electric.  In a week of senseless world wide violence, works that affirm beauty and truth are essential.
