Tonight we're seeing Julie Taymor's production of The Magic Flute at the Met. We're very excited.
We went to hear Taymor speak last week and show slides of George Tsypin's set. She made it very clear that although people will think she borrowed techniques from The Lion King (masks above faces, etc.), she actually used those techniques in her FIRST production of The Magic Flute at the opera house in Florence, years before The Lion King.
