Description Need a quick refresher on the plot of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte aka The Magic Flute? Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactWolfgang Amadeus Mozart and librettist Emanuel Schikaneder decided to write The Magic Flute aka Die Zauberflöte in the style of Singspiel—a German-language comic opera with singing and dialogue—though it should be noted that Mozart never actually referred to it as a Singspiel. The opera premiered on 30 September 1791, just two months before Mozart's death, with the composer himself conducting and Schikaneder as the bird-catcher Papageno. It was an immediate hit with audiences. It took Vienna by storm, and its popularity soon spread throughout all of Europe. About StevenSteven is a Canadian composer living in Toronto.

Our employees must take paid time off for their birthday every year, but because one of them was born on Leap Day she only gets hers every four. Why is she so upset? Everyone else loves this policy!

Have you ever listened to a piece of music, closed your eyes, and imagined yourself in another place, in another time, or as another being?  It can easily be said that music has an acute ability to literally lift you from your shoes and transform you into anyplace you want to be. But… was that always the case?

In this episode of The Art of Listening, Jeff Bradbury and Gabriel Gordon discuss the history of Sonata Form and share examples of how an idea that started on the stages of opera morphed over 100 years through the introduction of the Tone Poem into what we hear today on movie screens and our favorite video streaming services.
