PBA singers join Livermore Valley Opera for The Magic Flute!
Prince Tamino is pursued by a dragon into a magical land of fantasy where, aided by three mysterious ladies, he seeks to rescue the beautiful Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, from the powerful Sarastro. With the assistance of the bird-catcher Papageno, he finds that nothing is quite as it first seems in this allegory about a quest for truth, beauty and pure love. Beautiful music and some of the most memorable arias in opera, paired with a cast of fanciful characters, make this Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s crowning operatic achievement.
📸 2: PBA Spirits Chorus: Top L-R Marcell Peto, Matt Ategeka, Brenn Farrell. Bottom L-R: Forrest McNeil, Giancarlo Padilla, Brett Colvin.
Sung in English with English supertitles
Pre-opera talk, one hour before each performance

Continuum is thrilled to advance to the Quarterfinals of ICHSA’s. This competition is the highest level and most renowned acapella competition in the nation, inspiring movies like Pitch Perfect. To get to this stage, Continuum has filmed and submitted multiple full length audition tapes to an advanced board of judges.
