We go into the woods with Prince Tamino and his irreverent bird catcher pal, Papageno, in search of the perfect girl to marry. But not before being saved from a dragon, outsmarting the duplicitous Queen of the Night, and proving himself worthy through an epic set of challenges set forth by the mysterious high priest Sarastro!While most baroque and classical operas are based on Greek or Roman mythology, Mozart ventured into less explored territory by setting The Magic Flute in ancient Egypt. The gods Isis and Osiris dominate the world of Sarastro and his fellow priests, and the ancient world's emphasis on the supernatural power of music lies behind the use of the magic flute itself as the opera's most important symbol.

On today's episode of Opera for Everyone we listen to The Magic Flute, also known as Die Zauberflöte, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It's an opera in two acts, first performed in Vienna in 1791. In this opera the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity in the Temple of Wisdom under the high priest Sarastro. Tamino is accompanied on his quest to the Temple of Wisdom by the earthy Papageno, a bird-catcher, who is also looking for true love. Together they learn the high ideals of Sarastro's community and seek to join it. Separately, then together, Tamino and Pamina undergo severe trials of initiation, which end in triumph, and with the Queen and her cohorts vanquished. Papageno fails the trials completely but is nevertheless rewarded with the hand of his ideal female companion, Papagena.
