The Magic Flute, composed by Mozart, first performed 1791. The Plot: The adventures of Papageno, birdcatcher to the Queen of the Night. Punished by her Ladies for boasting, he is ordered to guide Prince Tamino (and his magical flute) into the lands of the fearful wizard Sarastro. Along the way he saves the Queen's daughter Pamina from rape, learns that Sarastro is a great priest, is offered a glimpse of a possible future birdike bride and finally makes good by using his own magical glockenspiel which summons up his bride, just as the Queen's final attack on Sarastro's temple is defeated.
