Most people know Julie Taymor as the wonderfully creative director behind movies like Frida, starring Salma Hayek, and Across the Universe - a reimagination of The Beatles' music. Fans might be interested to learn that her artistic vision is not limited to the screen only.

If you enjoy Taymor's work and are interested in booking with the Hotel Mela in New York City, it might be a good idea to get tickets for the opera, Die Zauberflote. This magical, fantasy tells the story of an unlucky prince the princess he falls in love with.

To win the princess' hand, the prince must rescue his love from a supposedly evil sorcerer and is given a magic flute to help him along his way - but is it the queen or the sorcerer who is truly evil?

Mozart composed this opera - better known as The Magic Flute in English - and it was first performed in 1791. In April 2010, it will be staged at the Metrapolitan Opera House, and Taymor will add her creative touches to this impressive production.
