...planetarium. First there's the building itself--a 10-story glass-walled cube with an 87-ft. aluminum sphere seemingly floating within it. Then there's the space around the sphere. While the old Hayden had only a handful of faded exhibitions to get visitors into a cosmic mood, the new planetarium is overstuffed with information.

His cunning attempts to woo Pamina and his conniving intentions of ruining Prince Tamino bring a humorous slant to the opera, disburdening the role of its evilness. Matching Nuccio's dazzling performance is the musical brilliance of Spiewak as the queen . Spiewak awes the audience with her sparkling arias, reaching musical heights with amazing control and clarity in her voice...
