papageno!

Ok, so i was reading an article today that mentioned that Mozart's "The Magic Flute" is being developed into a movie -- with a $20 million budget. Filming starts this spring, but is being recorded sometime this fall.

I really enjoyed The Magic Flute, despite the fact that when I saw it I was considerably ill -- fever, etc. I actually saw it the afternoon of the Super Bowl when the whole Janet Jackson/breast fiasco occured. I guess it was my way of balancing culture.

Or something.

But either way, I think it has the potential to be really really good. The Queen of the Night aria was like my introduction to opera ... and it's still equally as amazing now as it was when I heard it for the first time.
