The moon has long been a source of fascination and wonder for humans. It lights up our night sky, controls the tides, and has even inspired countless poems and songs. But did you know that the moon is also believed to possess a certain kind of magic? Moon magic, also known as lunar magic or lunacy, refers to the belief that the moon has a powerful and enchanting energy that can affect various aspects of our lives. This notion has roots in ancient cultures and civilizations, where the moon was often associated with goddesses of fertility, love, and wisdom. The moon goes through different phases throughout the month, from the new moon to the full moon and back again. Each phase is said to hold a different kind of energy and to affect different areas of life.

The Opera company has performed many interpretations of classic works all in an attempt to make Opera something that more people would be willing to engage with. Opera Magazine wrote that the new production could bring in a new generation of opera-goers and Opera Today raved Pacific Opera Project s rollicking new take on The Magic Flute is as much endearing fun as a box full of puppies.
Each phase is said to hold a different kind of energy and to affect different areas of life. For example, the new moon is associated with fresh starts, setting intentions and goals, and planting the seeds of new projects. On the other hand, the full moon is considered a time of manifestation and release, when our energy is at its peak and we can harness its power to bring our desires into reality.
Mozart's Opera "The Magic Flute" gets a Nintendo makeover by LA-based Opera Group
Pacific Opera Project has announced that they will be performing an interpretation of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” but with a Nintendo re-imagining dubbed, “Superflute”.
Coming to the El Portal Theater March 17th-26th in North Hollywood the show takes the classic characters from Mozart’s Opera and puts them through a Mario/Donkey Kong/ Zelda themed lens.
Below is the description of the show written on it’s website.
[Pacific Opera Project Website]POP brings back its 2019 season-opening tour-de-force production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute AKA #Superflute, set in classic video games from the early 1990s. The “super” production transports Papageno, Tamino, and the gang to the land of video games resembling Mario Bros. and Zelda with a new English libretto by Artistic Director Josh Shaw and E. Scott Levin. Opera Magazine wrote that the new production “could bring in a new generation of opera-goers” and Opera Today raved “Pacific Opera Project’s rollicking new take on The Magic Flute is as much endearing fun as a box full of puppies. And as ingenious Artistic Director Josh Shaw has reimagined the piece (marketed as #Superflute), the staging is also just about as relentlessly and adorably rambunctious, all the while proving to be commendably musically refined… I loved it. I think Mozart would have loved it. If not, to hell with him!”
The immediate question you might be asking yourself is “why?” and the answer according to Pacific Opera Project themselves is to make Opera more accessible.

Reviews for "Moon Magic and Dreamwork: Connecting with the Realm of Dreams"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "Bewitching Moon Magic" as I am a fan of the paranormal romance genre, but this book left me disappointed. The storyline was predictable and lacked depth. The characters felt one-dimensional and their actions were often unrealistic. The writing style was also quite underwhelming, with choppy dialogues and repetitive descriptions. Overall, I found this book to be a letdown and would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "Bewitching Moon Magic" was an absolute bore from start to finish. The plot was incredibly slow-paced and failed to capture my interest. The romance between the main characters felt forced and lacked chemistry. The author also seemed to rely heavily on clichés and stereotypes, which made the story feel unoriginal and uninspired. Additionally, the editing was subpar, with numerous grammatical errors and confusing sentence structures. I struggled to finish this book and was left extremely unsatisfied.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was hoping for a captivating magical adventure with "Bewitching Moon Magic," but instead, I found it to be dull and unengaging. The world-building was weak, leaving me with many unanswered questions about the supernatural elements that were introduced. The pacing was inconsistent, with long periods of nothing happening, followed by rushed and chaotic action scenes. The main characters were also quite unlikable, lacking depth and growth. Overall, I was unimpressed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone seeking an immersive and well-developed paranormal story.
4. Michael - 2.5 stars - As a fan of witchcraft and fantasy novels, I was excited to dive into "Bewitching Moon Magic." However, I was left wanting more. The story felt disjointed and lacked a cohesive plot. The magical elements were haphazardly thrown in without much explanation, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the world. The character development was also lacking, with the protagonist often making irrational decisions without clear motivation. While the writing style was decent, it wasn't enough to salvage the overall disappointment of this book.
