...works, including The Magic Flute, and a company was born. Fifty years later, they have repatriated one of their finest exports, director David Freeman, to launch a new version combining vocal firepower (Amelia Ferrugia, Jaewoo Kim, Emma Matthews) with the aerial acrobatics of Legs on the Wall. Did someone mention crossover appeal? "You can't stay 19th century," says the production's designer, Dan Potra, who shares with his director the belief that opera will "die a slow, agonizing death" unless new elements are brought...
