When they leave to tell the queen\, the birdcatcher Papageno appears. He boasts to Tamino that it was he who killed the creature. The ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of the queen’s daughter\, Pamina\, who they say has been enslaved by the evil Sarastro. Tamino immediately falls in love with the girl’s picture. The queen\, appearing in a burst of thunder\, tells Tamino about the loss of her daughter and commands him to rescue her. The ladies give a magic flute to Tamino and silver bells to Papageno to ensure their safety on the journey and appoint three spirits to guide them. \n\n\n\nSarastro’s slave Monostatos pursues Pamina but is frightened away by Papageno. The birdcatcher tells Pamina that Tamino loves her and is on his way to save her. Led by the three spirits to the temple of Sarastro\, Tamino learns from a high priest that it is the Queen\, not Sarastro\, who is evil. Hearing that Pamina is safe\, Tamino charms the wild animals with his flute\, then rushes off to follow the sound of Papageno’s pipes. Monostatos and his men chase Papageno and Pamina but are left helpless when Papageno plays his magic bells. Sarastro enters in great ceremony. He punishes Monostatos and promises Pamina that he will eventually set her free. Pamina catches a glimpse of Tamino\, who is led into the temple with Papageno. \n\n\n\nSarastro tells the priests that Tamino will undergo initiation rites. Monostatos tries to kiss the sleeping Pamina but is surprised by the appearance of the Queen of the Night. The Queen gives her daughter a dagger and orders her to murder Sarastro. \n\n\n\nSarastro finds the desperate Pamina and consoles her\, explaining that he is not interested in vengeance. Tamino and Papageno are told by a priest that they must remain silent and are not allowed to eat\, a vow that Papageno immediately breaks when he takes a glass of water from a flirtatious old lady. When he asks her name\, the old lady vanishes. The three spirits appear to guide Tamino through the rest of his journey and to tell Papageno to be quiet. Tamino remains silent even when Pamina appears. Misunderstanding his vow for coldness\, she is heartbroken. \n\n\n\nThe priests inform Tamino that he has only two more trials to complete his initiation. Papageno\, who has given up on entering the brotherhood\, longs for a wife instead. He eventually settles for the old lady. When he promises to be faithful she turns into a beautiful young Papagena but immediately disappears. \n\n\n\nPamina and Tamino are reunited and face the ordeals of water and fire together\, protected by the magic flute. \n\n\n\nPapageno tries to hang himself on a tree but is saved by the three spirits\, who remind him that if he uses his magic bells he will find true happiness. When he plays the bells\, Papagena appears and the two start making family plans. The Queen of the Night\, her three ladies\, and Monostatos attack the temple but are defeated and banished. Sarastro blesses Pamina and Tamino as all join in hailing the triumph of courage\, virtue\, and wisdom. \n\n\n\nSynopsis by The Metropolitan Opera

SUMMARY:MFA Thesis art exhibition: victoria mercado-lues
DESCRIPTION:Garden of Corporeal Fantasy\n\n\n\nMFA Thesis Exhibition\n\n\n\nby Victoria Mercado-Lues \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: April 21 – 25\, 2026\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, April 24th\, 6-8p\n\n\n\nBrightly saturated and fantastical\, Garden of Corporeal Fantasy explores the meeting of nature and flesh in oil paintings and ceramics. With invented creatures and visceral biological imagery\, the works reframe the gaze towards the bodily through a lens of wonder — a less punitive lens than the centuries-long and still recurring traditions of bodies as commodified\, objectified\, or sinful.  \n\n\n\nThis exhibition addresses our discomfort surrounding the body by combining it with the godly imposing presence of the landscape\, like waterfalls and billowing clouds. In this combination\, the work is imbued with a devotional\, almost sacred quality\, borrowing visuals of the holy and filling it with the biological. The sticky\, hairy\, fleshy becomes something worth staring at with open fascination\, the same way we are in awe of exotic plants\, or deep-sea creatures\, illuminating the sublime inherent in the corporeal.  \n\n\n\nBy zooming in on the glistening\, wet thresholds\, the work blurs the boundary between interior and exterior anatomy. Tendrils and drips converge to give birth to strange life forms and new worlds that explore sensuality\, womanhood\, and the fantastic.  \n\n\n\nDocumenting a coming of age\, Garden of Corporeal Fantasy acknowledges the fullness of becoming a woman: the awareness of feeling both precious and strange\, once intimately known\, yet foreign to yourself. In creating these fantastical ecologies\, the work insists on its own terms for beauty\, redefined through tender curiosity.  \n\n\n\nMore About Victoria  \n\n\n\nVictoria Mercado-Lues (b. 2003) is a Mexican-American artist whose oil paintings\, ceramics\, and collage conjure vivid ecologies of invented creatures and fantastical flesh. Her work merges the biological with the devotional\, reframing the body as a site of wonder rather than shame. \n\n\n\nMercado-Lues received her BFA from the University of South Florida and her MFA from the University of North Carolina Greensboro\, where she was awarded a residency through GROW in partnership with Creative Greensboro. Her work has been exhibited nationally at the Carolyn M. Wilson Gallery\, International Museum of Surgical Science\, Proxy Design Gallery\, and the Sechrest Gallery\, among others.  \n\n\n\nLearn more at victoriamercadolues.wixsite.com/arts  | IG: @victoriamercadolues

Poteat Scholar\, winner of the Concerto Competition and Giles-Harris Competition for Performance\, and a drum major for the Spirit of the Old Gold and Black Marching Band.  Also while at Wake Forest\, Cat spent a magical semester in Venice\, Italy\, where she studied at the Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello and traveled Europe experiencing performances by the world’s leading orchestras and opera companies.  She studied clarinet with Kelly Burke\, Anthony Taylor\, Edwin Riley\, Eileen Young and Michael Waddell.  \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, Cat has discovered a love of North Carolina’s state tree\, the long leaf pine\, after planting several acres of seedlings with her younger brother on their family farm in Four Oaks.  When she isn’t back home on the farm\, Cat enjoys attending sporting events\, exploring the tastes of North Carolina’s craft breweries with her husband Noah (a professional violist)\, and experiencing a view of the world through the eyes of her brilliantly curious daughter\, Clara. \n\n\n\n\nUNCG Bands\nThe UNCG Bands are devoted to the performance\, study\, and advancement of wind band music at the highest artistic level. Recognized as one of the nation’s premier collegiate band programs\, the UNCG Bands maintain an active and distinguished record of excellence through performances\, recordings\, tours\, and appearances at major conventions. \n\n\n\nThrough exemplary organization\, training\, and presentation\, the UNCG Bands offer exceptional musical experiences for our members and share outstanding performances throughout the year.

Lempicka is a sweeping\, sensual musical set in 1920s Paris\, where revolution\, art\, and desire collide. Fleeing the Russian Revolution\, Tamara de Lempicka claws her way from refugee to rising star of the Art Deco scene—bold\, brilliant\, and unstoppable. But when she falls into a dangerous\, all-consuming love with her magnetic muse Rafaela\, Tamara must choose between passion and power\, survival and self-expression. As fascism rises and the walls close in\, how much is she willing to risk for the life—and love—she craves?

In addition to his individual clinics and workshops\, he also directs the educational components of Centrum\, The Port Townsend Jazz Festival\, and the Vail Jazz Workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/MezzStudents$6.00Adults$12.00Seniors$9.00\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else.
