Cinema Art Theater to screen Mozart’s ‘Magic Flute’ opera

Opening Friday, Nov. 17, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater presents “What Happens Later,” a charming romantic comedy about life and love between past friends.

Two ex-lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.

A holiday presentation of the The Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD will feature “The Magic Flute.”

The Met’s family-friendly production of Mozart’s dazzling fairy tale returns, sung in English and running under two hours. Patrick Furrer and Gareth Morrell share conducting duties, leading a standout cast in Julie Taymor’s magical staging. Tenors Piotr Buszewski and Joshua Blue share the role of Tamino, the brave prince on a quest to win the clever princess Pamina, sung by sopranos Janai Brugger and Liv Redpath. The cast also features famed tenor Rolando Villazón reprising his uproarious portrayal as the luckless bird catcher Papageno, alternating with baritone Alexander Birch Elliott, and soprano Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night, alongside basses Brindley Sherratt and James Creswell as Sarastro.

General film admission is $9 for members, $11.50 for general audience and $5 for students.

Admission for The Met: Live in HD broadcasts is $25 for adults, $22 for members, $22 for seniors ages 65 and above, and $10 for students with ID.
