DAMARISCOTTA — The Lincoln Theater will present a New Year’s Day screening of “The Magic Flute” through The Metropolitan Opera’s “ The MET: Live in HD” series.

The opera, presented in an abridged version and sung in English, is designed to appeal to families with children. Tickets cost $10.

“The Magic Flute” will play at 1 p.m. Sunday. The opera runs just less than two hours.

“In Julie Taymor’s fantastical production of Mozart’s classic opera, the hero Tamino teams up with the comical bird- catcher Papageno to win the hand of the beautiful princess Pamina,” a Lincoln Theater release states. “To find her, the two unlikely friends must navigate through a mysterious world of supernatural dangers and avoid the wrath of Pamina’s vengeful mother, the evil Queen of the Night.”

Taymor is well known for her creation of Disney’s “The Lion King” on Broadway. This special encore is conducted by James Levine.

Tickets are available at the Lincoln Theater box office, 2 Theater St., Damariscotta.
