This unique interpretation of the classic opera showcased the company's talent for creating innovative and immersive experiences for opera enthusiasts. The Pacific Opera Project is known for its unconventional take on traditional operas, and their performance of "Magic Flute" was no exception. The production took place in an intimate outdoor setting, adding an element of closeness and connection between the audience and the performers. The use of modern elements in the staging and costumes brought a fresh and contemporary feel to the opera. Characters were dressed in avant-garde outfits, and the sets were minimalistic yet visually striking.
The present version (III) offers also a Muff / Bender toggle switch.
Beyond the toggle switch Bender Muff, the Plan-9 Rams Head has protection against polarity inversion, RF blocking, noise filter, led and true bypass. Beyond the toggle switch Bender Muff, the Plan-9 Rams Head has protection against polarity inversion, RF blocking, noise filter, led and true bypass.

Plan-9 Ram's Head Si
The Plan-9 Rams Head Si recreates one of the first Big Muff Pi editions, known as the "Violet Rams Head". It´s know for its superior sound when compared to the current US and Russian versions.
The present version (III) offers also a Muff / Bender toggle switch.
We just performed mods that doesn´t affect the original tones. Beyond the toggle switch Bender/Muff, the Plan-9 Rams Head has protection against polarity inversion, RF blocking, noise filter, led and true bypass.
As the original BMP, the Plan-9 Rams Head is powered by four matched BC239 silicon transistors and four matched 1N914 silicon diodes.
- Sustain: controls the fuzz and sustain intensity
- Volume: limits the output signal intensity
- Tone: controls the amount of high, medium and bass tones.
- Muff / Bender toggle switch: alternates between the Rams Head tones and Supa Tone Bender style tones. Note that we say "Supa Tone Bender style tones". That´s because the Bender switch doesn't achieve, rigorously speaking, a perfect Supa Tone Bender sound, as the Plan-9 Rams Head transistors are BC239 and not the ones used in the vintage Supa Tone Bender. However the tones are quite similar.
- True bypass 3PDT footswitch.
- External power supply jack and internal 9V battery snap.
- Hand wired circuit with off board mounting of jacks, switches and pots.
- Four selected BC239 transistors.
- 4 matched 1N914 diodes.
- Circuit protection against battery polarity inversion, radio interference and on/off noise
- Constanta potentiometers, big and tough, vintage style made in Brazil (eventually we can use CTS or Alpha).
- Fender witch hat knobs
- Heavy duty metal box with electrostatic painting.
- Detailed Operation Manual.

1. John - 2 stars
I was really looking forward to seeing "Pacific Opera Project Spellbinding Magic Flute," but I was quite disappointed with the performance. The singing was subpar, and the actors lacked the charisma and stage presence needed to bring the characters to life. The set and costumes were also underwhelming, failing to create the magical atmosphere that this opera should have. Overall, it fell short of my expectations, and I don't think I would recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I have seen many productions of "The Magic Flute" in the past, but "Pacific Opera Project" was by far the worst. The singing was off-key, and the performers seemed unprepared and unsure of themselves. The staging was minimal and unimpressive, making it hard to connect with the story or feel engaged. It was a real disappointment, and I wouldn't waste my time or money on this opera again.

As an opera enthusiast, I was excited to attend "Pacific Opera Project Spellbinding Magic Flute," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its name. The cast lacked chemistry, and the singing was inconsistent throughout the performance. The modern twist on the production felt out of place, and it seemed like the director was trying too hard to be innovative. Overall, it was a mediocre experience that didn't capture the magic of "The Magic Flute."
