Welcome to the College of the Arts Spring 2025 Season. As we come together to enjoy incredible art, dance, music and theatre programming from across the college, I know we are all still reeling from the recent fires that tore through the communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades. In many ways, we are all Angelenos and when our city breaks, we break. Many of our students, faculty, and staff are finding comfort in processing complex thoughts and emotions the only way we know how: through the arts. It is our calling and what ties us to our community. Through our programming, we hope to provide a bit of respite to all of you during this time of regrouping and rebuilding.

In the College of the Arts, every note, every movement, and every word spoken on stage brings opportunity for discovery and connection. Whether you are a fellow Titan, family member, or community supporter, we are thrilled to have you here. You are now part of something much larger than this single performance. You are joining a vibrant and diverse collective of artists and technicians working together to push the boundaries of their craft.

Spring 2025 brings us a season of fresh programming to challenge our perceptions and immerse us in new perspectives. Later this month, the School of Music presents “Hajar,” a contemporary opera synthesizing ancient Jewish and Islamic stories into a modern immigration tale. Theatre begins their season with “Significant Other,” a heartfelt tale of love and longing in 21st century New York City. If you haven’t yet seen our spectacular new gallery building, make time to see “Chris O’Leary: Gravity Well” – an exploration of the cosmic phenomena of gravitational waves using video, sound, and images. In May, our dancers and choreographers return to the intimate Hallberg Theatre in “Spring Dance Theatre: From All Sides,” where viewers will experience a variety of dance forms from every angle of the stage.

It takes more than just the emotional support of friends, family, professors, and mentors to enable students to take creative risks of expression. As a college, we remain committed to providing these aspiring arts professionals with scholarships, financial assistance, and the industry-ready equipment, facilities, and opportunities to further develop their skills outside the classroom. Our resolve is steadfast, but we need your continued support to sustain and expand our educational mission, ensuring our students have the tools necessary to succeed. Please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today.

I thank you for being here, for your ongoing support, and for your conviction in the power of the arts. Together, we can accomplish the extraordinary.

Sincerely,

Arnold Holland, EdD Dean, College of the Arts

DIRECTOR’S NOTE In The Magic Flute, Mozart and Schikander present a world where light and darkness battle for supremacy, virtue is tested, and enlightenment is promised to those who prove worthy. Yet, beneath the opera’s dazzling spectacle and soaring melodies lies a more complex reality—one where wisdom is reserved for men, and women are either saintly or treacherous.

Tamino, the noble prince, must undergo trials to prove himself worthy of Pamina, a princess caught between the imposing figures of her mother, the Queen of the Night, and Sarastro, the high priest of wisdom. But what, exactly, is he proving?

That he can remain silent while Pamina suffers in ignorance? That he can follow rules dictated by a world where female voices are either silenced of villainized?

Sarastro’s enlightened order demands obedience, and its wisdom seems to align suspiciously with reinforcing the subjugation of women. The Queen of the Night, despite her undeniable strength, is reduced to hysteria and destruction, while Pamina, though courageous, is only granted fulfillment through male guidance. Even Papageno, the comic everyman, is rewarded with love only when he conforms to the idea that men must lead, and women must follow.

As audiences, we are left to grapple with the question: Is this truly a story of enlightenment, or one that merely upholds a world order where gender roles are immutable? And if we find discomfort in its implications, do we dismiss the work or use it as a mirror for self-reflection? And in choosing the latter, I hope that this performance of The Magic Flute delivers all the vocal and dramatic fireworks you hope for, but is as thought-provoking as it is magical.

-Kerry Jennings

ABOUT THE OPERA

Act I

Tamino, a handsome prince who is lost in a strange land, is being pursued by a monstrous serpent. Three mysterious women appear, who are servants of the Queen of the Night, and slay the monster.

When he regains consciousness, the first person Tamino sees is Papageno, so Tamino believes him to be his rescuer.

Papageno, a bird catcher in search of love, does nothing to dispel the misunderstanding. The three ladies punish Papageno for this lie by rendering him mute. They show Tamino a picture of Pamina, the Queen’s daughter. Tamino instantly falls in love with Pamina and vows to rescue her form the evil Sarastro, in whose faraway palace she has been imprisoned. The three ladies give Papageno back his voice and instruct him to accompany Tamino.

As a protection against danger, they give Tamino a magic flute, while Papageno receives magic bells, and three spirits will show Tamino and Papageno the way to Sarastro.

Pamina is tormented by Sarastro’s servant Monostatos, but she is saved when Papageno wanders in, having become separated from Tamino. Both Papageno and Monostatos are frightened by the other’s appearance. Left alone with Pamina, Papageno announces that her rescuer Tamino will soon arrive. Papageno admits that his own search for love has sadly proved fruitless so far, and Pamina comforts him.

The three spirits lead Tamino to the gates of Sarastro’s domain. He is told that the Queen is really the evil one, and the good Sarastro was merely trying to get Pamina away from her mother’s dark influence.

Overjoyed to learn that Pamina is still alive, Tamino plays on his magic flute, enchanting nature with his music.

Papageno and Pamina try to flee, but they are caught by Monostatos and his

helpers. Papageno’s magic bells charm their pursuers and put them out of action.

Sarastro and his entourage then enter upon the scene. Monostatos leads in Tamino; Sarastro punishes Monostatos for tormenting Pamina. The long-awaited encounter between Tamino and Pamina is all too brief; Sarastro orders that they must now face a series of trials.

Act II

Sarastro, having at least on the surface been revealed as a benevolent leader, gathers the initiates before Tamino begins the trials.

The trial of silence Tamino and Papageno must practice being silent. When the three ladies appear and attempt to persuade them to abandon their quest, the trial becomes truly difficult. Tamino remains silent and resolute, while Papageno immediately begins to chatter.

Meanwhile, Monostatos again tries to get close to the sleeping Pamina. The Queen of the Night appears and orders her daughter to kill Sarastro. Pamina remains behind, despairing. Sarastro seeks to console Pamina by forswearing any thoughts of revenge.

The trial of temptation Tamino and Papageno must resist any temptation: no conversation, no women, no food! As well as the magic flute and magic bells, the three spirits also bring Tamino and Papageno food, which Tamino once again steadfastly resists.

Even the arrival of Pamina fails to draw a single word from Tamino’s lips, which she interprets as a rejection. She laments the cooling of Tamino’s love for her.

Before the last trial, Pamina and Tamino are brought together one last time to say farewell to one another. Papageno is not

ABOUT THE OPERA permitted to take part in any further trials.

He now wishes only for some wine—and he dreams of his great love.

For her part, Pamina believes that she has lost Tamino forever. In her despair, she seeks to end her own life but is prevented from doing so by the three spirits, who assure her that Tamino still loves her.

Gladdened and relieved, Pamina accepts their invitation to see Tamino again.

Reunited at last, Tamino and Pamina undergo the final trial together.

The trial of fire and water The music of the magic flute and their love for one another allow Tamino and Pamina to conquer their own fear and overcome the dangers of fire and water.

Papageno is still unsuccessful in his

search for the perfect mate. Despairing, he now also seeks to end his life, but is prevented from doing so by the three spirits. Papageno’s dream finally comes true: together with the beautiful Papagena, he dreams of being blessed with many children.

Meanwhile… …the Queen of the Night, the three ladies and the turncoat Monostatos arm themselves for an attack against Sarastro and his world. However, their attack is repelled.

Tamino and Pamina have reached the end of their trials and can finally be together. ~San Francisco Opera (Modified)
