L'enfant et les sortilèges By Maurice Ravel Presented as part of MMF’s Immersive Opera Experiences, witness the enchanting tale of a mischievous child and the magical consequences of their actions, brought to life with the spellbinding power of projection mapping technology. In this whimsical French one-act opera which translates to “The child and the magic spells,” a young boy learns the importance of kindness and empathy. In a world where furniture, fire, and animals come to life, Ravel’s dreamy lyric score spins a modern fable with an ageless message. Immerse yourself into the scenes of the opera on a delightful musical journey as the child learns valuable life lessons and faces the consequences of their actions. Warning: Be advised that this production will incorporate moving projections which may cause vertigo or dizziness in some viewers.

Gianni Schicchi By Giacomo Puccini When an old curmudgeon dies, who inherits his fortune?

Based on a brief reference in Dante’s Inferno, this comic opera showcases a wonderfully verismo ensemble cast singing Puccini’s score full of humorous musical devices and features one of the most memorable arias in the operatic canon, “O mio babbino caro.”
