La flûte enchantée

"A long time ago lived a wise king and everyone praised his kindness. Just before he died, he told his wife and daughter Pamina, his wish was to bequeath his kingdom to his friend Sarastro. This very wise priest would take care of it. He was also the one who would take care and watch over Pamina.

After hearing these words, the queen cursed the dead king and sold her soul to the devil. She went to live in the land of shadows becoming the Queen of the Night. She swore Sarastro would become enemy forever."

The Enchanted Flute opera is inspired by an oriental tale. The director of Mozart's theater brought this story to the composer and offered him to write an opera libretto. This masterpiece was created in September 1791 and Mozart himself conducted the opera.
