This volume demonstrates for the first time that Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte is an enactment of the alchemical opus magnum, in the form of a chemical wedding. Towards the end of the 18th century, alchemy was still a prominent mystical current within the Order of Freemasons of which Mozart and his librettists were members. The central part focuses on the opera's alchemical structure, whereas the historical and mythological backgrounds are also dealt with extensively. The book comes with 3 CD's offering a rendition of the integral opera, in contrast to the common practice of leaving out major parts of the libretto. The Magic Flute is a fascinating journey of discovery, an initiation into Initiation. With complete original libretto and over 100 pictures.

Few operas have had more written about them than The Magic Flute, yet few are as often exposed to misguided comment - or to idiosyncratic productions. This book sets out to provide a straightforward account of Mozart's last opera, exposing the half-truths and legends that have proliferated since its first production in 1791. In the first chapter a hitherto unsuspected source for the opening scene is presented and Branscombe reveals the complex relationship between the stories, essays and stage-works on which the plot is based. The second chapter studies the intellectual background, with special attention to Freemasonry. A detailed synopsis follows, then the history of the composition, based on documentary evidence and, in the case of the autograph score, the paper-types used. Chapter 5 examines the identity of the librettist and the qualities of his work, and chapter 6 is a detailed study (by Erik Smith) of Mozart's music and more generally of his late style. Chapter 7 covers the first performance, the cast, early reception, and then the rapid growth in the opera's fame; an outline history of productions concludes the chapter. Anthony Besch discusses the nature of the challenge to the director presented by Die Zauberflöte and suggests how the problems can be overcome. The book contains illustrations, a synopsis, bibliography and discography and will be of interest to music students, scholars and opera-goers.

"Die Zauberflote", with the famous aria of "Queen of the Night", is the last masterpiece of the genius composer Mozart with the fairytale-like plot and the beautiful music completing the enjoyable piece. As a piece composed for the German commoners who could not understand the Italian operas, it was extremely popular, always selling all the tickets every time it performed. '밤의 여왕'의 아리아로 유명한 [마술피리]는 천재 작곡가 모차르트의 마지막 오페라 작품으로, 동화 같은 내용과 아름다운 음악이 어우러져 즐겁게 감상할 수 있는 오페라입니다. 당시 이탈리아 오페라를 이해하지 못하는 독일 서민을 위해 만든 후, 오페라가 공연될 때마다 티켓이 매진될 만큼 인기를 누렸던 오페라 [마술피리]에 대해 알아보겠습니다.
