About IU Opera and Ballet Theater

IU Opera and IU Ballet Theater are considered two of the finest collegiate programs of their kind in North America. Housed within the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, they offer students unmatched opportunities to perform and dance in a spectacular performing arts complex, the Musical Arts Center. Built in the early 70s, the MAC has a stage design and technology that closely resembles the New York Metropolitan Opera’s facilities, including a three-wagon system and large turntable.

Speaking as the former Supertitle Operator for IU Opera Theater, I can tell you that it's almost impossible to title spoken dialogue--it goes by too quickly and the current sound system in the MAC makes it very difficult for the title operator to hear speech anyway. So, my guess is that the producers have gone with a dual language version for maximum comprehension by the audience. Not ideal, I know, but a compromise.

Enjoy this spectacular new production, directed by Tomer Zvulun, conducted by Mark Gibson, and designed by C. David Higgins.The production includes a collection of large puppets!

The principles of good and evil are the centerpiece of this Mo...zart masterpiece, which premiered only months before his death in December 1791. Good is represented by the High Priest Sarastro and evil by the Queen of the Night. Two would-be-lovers, Pamina and Tamino, must overcome a set of trials in order to be worthy of true love, encountering the birdcatcher Papageno along the way. Steeped in symbolism, this work is influenced by the principles of Freemasonry, which were very much in vogue at the time and to which Mozart subscribed.

Sung in German, with English dialogue and supertitles
