David DiChiera, Michigan Opera Theatre's mastermind, has brought Detroit a gift of spring Gorgeous Strapless A-line Prom Dress an enchanting production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," cast it beautifully and let the good times roll on opening night at the Detroit Opera House. The production came from the Opera Company of Philadelphia: Boyd Ostroff 's handsome set, like a cross between "Ariadne auf Naxos" and "Swan Lake," brings the original libretto, set Gorgeous Strapless Beaded Long Prom Dress some ancient past, to the Romantic movement of the 19th century, which bears up very well under the story of a search for love and glory. Richard St. Clair's period costumes with a hint of the Grecian for members of the Temple devoted to Isis and Green A-line Strapless Prom Dress are parenthesized by whimsy: The Three Ladies, first seen at the top of the curving staircase flowing into a huge tree trunk bridge, appear to be Valkyries auditioning for "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." They wear bejeweled headdresses with feathery fronds, short dresses with sassy skirts and fitted bodices. But just as the voices blend, the palette and the styles work together Green Empire Full-length Formal Dress the melange did in Propeller's "Richard III" in the recent presentation of Ann Arbor's University Musical Society. Among the first voices we hear, the Three are a wonderful blend of soprano voices who move like sylphs on a mission: They are Kimwana Doner, Sarah Nisbett and Kathleen Segar (one ofthebest mezzos in the Detroit area). From there on, the vocal qualities of this production are nearly flawless and the degree of physical dexterity in this mostly young cast, ranging from young children to adolescents to adults and some mature singers, is joyful to watch. Dorothy Danner gets a big thumbs up for keeping the light moments light, the darker moments elegant and spot on, and each singer in character.
