Why Mozart's Magic Flute
Is a Masterpiece
An Introduction
Royal Opera House - Dec 20, 2017
👉 (Complete Opera Below)
The cast and creative team of The Royal Opera's Magic Flute explore what makes Mozart's The Magic Flute a classic.
Mozart wrote Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) for a suburban theatre in Vienna, the Theater auf der Wieden. He drew on the magical spectacle and earthy comedy of popular Viennese theatre. As well as being a comedy, The Magic Flute is an expression of Mozart’s profound spiritual beliefs: Enlightenment concerns with the search for wisdom and virtue are at the heart of this enchanting tale. The Magic Flute was an instant success with audiences and Mozart’s supposed rival Salieri described it as an ‘operone’ – a great opera.
David McVicar’s classic production embraces both the seriousness and comedy of Mozart’s work. The audience is transported to a fantastical world of dancing animals, flying machines and dazzlingly starry skies.
The setting provides a wonderful backdrop for Mozart’s kaleidoscopic score, from the Queen of the Night’s coloratura fireworks to Tamino and Pamina’s lyrical love duets and Papageno’s hearty, folksong-like arias.

Have you ever had this thing? You’re at a classical music concert. There’s a big-deal orchestra,
under a big-deal conductor, playing big-deal pieces. The programme is crammed full of boring academic articles and advertising... No wonder so many people are intimidated by classical music.
We are making classical music more accessible! ClassEx is a sort of visual Wikipedia which you can consult before going to a concert or simply to learn something new. Our shorts are fast-paced, witty, and entertaining. They explain the stories and creative processes behind the music.
