I enjoyed Zauberflöte at the Met but…. 
Many voices did not have the required format (Pamina) for the role, or were just average (Papageno, Sarastro). 
The production is efficient but eludes completely the darkness of the opera. The orchestra was on a day off (no colors, no fire) maybe because the conductor was lacking of energy and dynamics.
Again, the theater was pretty empty and many left after intermission…
