Yona Goes to The Magic Flute (Paperback)
by Joan Thomson Kretschmer, illustrated by Joan Lewis
An extraordinary young girl travels with her teachers and her friend, Ulysses, to the Metropolitan Opera in the Flights of Fancy, a flying piano. Their adventure/lesson is a unique introduction to Mozart’s genius – for opera goers, their children, and grandchildren.
The young heroine is Yona Short, who has magical musical powers. She can change human behavior just by thinking about music.
The story is a sequel to Yona: Discoveries, Doorways, and Musical Superpower, which introduced Yona as she began her education and experiments with her powers.

History
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte)
Mozart’s final opera (written before La Clemenza di Tito but first performed later) premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just weeks before the composer’s death, with Mozart conducting the orchestra from the fortepiano. A timeless fairy tale, it was a major success from the beginning and never lost its place as one of the most popular works in the repertoire. Julie Taymor’s beloved Met production opened in 2004. Its abridged English-language version, which returns in December 2013 as the company’s annual holiday presentation for families, inaugurated the Met’s Live in HD series of performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world in 2006.
