Origins of a soap opera - opera magic flute

 

 

 

 

Today, I introduce Mozart's opera ‘The Magic Flute’

 

Wait a minute!

Are you familiar with the word ‘opera’?

 

Opera is simply ‘a play centered on music.’

In other words, it's a ‘play’ that expresses dialogues in a song.

 

 

 

 

As I said above, because opera is a ‘play’, in order for an opera to be as successful, the plot and development of the play are very important as music.

 

However, Mozart's opera ‘The Magic Flute’ was an exception.

 

 

 

 

The Magic Flute has a crazy plot, and here's what it looks like.

 

1. At the request of the queen of the night, the prince takes the magic flute and tries to save the princess, the queen's daughter.

 

 

 

2. When he went, he thought the man who locked the princess was the villain, but the queen was the villain, and the man who had the princess was the righteous philosopher.

 

 

3. To become part of the philosopher's world, the prince performs a meditate silently with the birdcatcher Papageno, who he went with, and later passes the test of water and fire with the princess.

 

 

4. Papageno, who was sad because he had no partner, also meets Papagena, who suits him perfectly, and the world of the queen of the night collapses.

 

 

 

Do you understand the plot of Magic Flute?

 

Even with such a ridiculous plot, the opera ‘The Magic Flute’ was a hit.

 

It was always so popular that tickets were sold out at every performance.

 

 

 

 

The reason was because of the music that made adience admire.

 

The audience loved the music so much that they couldn't pay attention to the plot of the opera.

 

I think Mozart is the only one who can do this.

 

 

 

 

Another reason why the plot of the opera "The Magic Flute" is so strange is that it's include into the opera the spirit of Freemason.

 

I will cover this story in detail next time.

 

 

 

 

Today, I will upload "Queen of the Night" from the opera The Magic flute.

 

It's a song by Daina Damrau.

 

Please enjoy it.
