They were child prodigies. Their father Leopold (1719-1787) was responsible for their musical training and took them on numerous European concert tours together. Maria Anna was said to be especially proficient on the harpsichord and the fortepiano (an early version of the piano), and there is some evidence that she was a composer as well, as her brother referred to her compositions in his letters, but no scores sur - vive. Instead, as was typical in mid-eighteenth-century families of a certain social status, Maria Anna stopped performing in public once she reached the marriageable age of eighteen. Her younger brother’s career continued with numerous successes, but he was never able to secure the job he wanted most: a full-time position at a prominent court. His many attempts across the far-flung houses of the Habsburg Empire in Milan, Florence, and Naples were unsuccessful. Instead, he worked as a gigging musi - cian, and made his money giving concerts and composing new music on commission. By the 1780s his earn - ings would have put him comfortably in the middle class, but he still coveted the prestige of a court position. He finally received such an appointment at the Imperial Court in Vienna under Emperor Joseph II in 1787. It paid well but was a part-time position only, composing new dance music for his annual balls. His opera Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) from 1786 aptly reflects the historical moment in which he lived. The opera is based on a comic play of the same name by French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais. Two servants, Figaro and Susanna, are engaged to be married and team up with the Countess to outwit the Count’s attempts to exercise his droit du seigneur (the master’s right to sleep with his servant girls on their wed - ding nights). Female solidarity across class divisions and the servants’ delivery of comeuppance to the master scandalized the French theater censors with its repudiation of aristocratic privilege. The censors required Beaumarchais to make revisions before it could be performed, but even the acceptable version was later de - scribed by Napoleon as “the [French] Revolution already put into action.” Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838) adapted the libretto from Beaumarchais’s play. He was a prolific Italian poet at the Viennese court who was Jewish by birth but converted to Catholicism, and even took Minor Orders in the priesthood. His success in Viennese court circles is indicative of Joseph II’s open-mindedness toward Jewish-born individuals following a period of renewed repression in 1740-1780. Da Ponte was librettist on the three operas many consider to be Mozart’s finest: Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte.

  • The Magic Flute Synopsis
    Mozart’s The Magic Flute Synopsis ACT I Three ladies in the service of the Queen of the Night save the fainting Prince Tamino from a serpent (“Zu Hülfe! zu Hülfe!”). When they leave to tell the queen, the bird catcher Papageno bounces in and boasts to Tamino that it was he who killed the creature (“Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja”). The ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of the queen’s daughter, Pamina, who they say is enslaved by the evil Sarastro, and they padlock Papageno’s mouth for lying. Tamino falls in love with Pamina’s face in the portrait (“Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön”). The queen, appearing in a burst of thunder, is grieving over the loss of her daughter; she charges Tamino with Pamina’s rescue (“Zum Leiden bin ich auserkoren”). The ladies give a magic flute to Tamino and silver bells to Papageno to ensure their safety, appointing three spirits to guide them (“Hm! hm! hm! hm!”). Sarastro’s slave Monostatos pursues Pamina (“Du feines Täubchen”) but is frightened away by the feather-covered Papageno, who tells Pamina that Tamino loves her and intends to save her. Led by the three spirits to the Temple of Sarastro, Tamino is advised by a high priest that it is the queen, not Sarastro, who is evil. Hearing that Pamina is safe, Tamino charms the animals with his flute, then rushes to follow the sound of Papageno’s pipes. Monostatos and his cohorts chase Papageno and Pamina but are left helpless by Papageno’s magic bells. Sarastro, entering in great ceremony (“Es lebe Sarastro”), promises Pamina eventual freedom and punishes Monostatos.

  • The Magic Flute' and It’S Written by a Composer Called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    I’VE NEVER BEEN TO THE OPERA BEFORE. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE LIKE? It’s great fun! You can expect to hear lots of great music and acting. All operas tell a story with performers who act and sing on a stage in costume whilst a band of musicians (aka an orchestra) play along. The opera that you’ll be coming to see is called 'The Magic Flute' and it’s written by a composer called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. E WASN'T MOZART AROUND A LONG TIME AGO? IS 'THE MAGIC FLUTE' A T REALLY OLD OPERA? U Yes, Mozart lived over 200 years ago and 'The Magic Flute' was first performed in 1791. However, all the costumes and the set are all brand spanking new and L of course all the people performing aren’t 200 years old! F The costumes, set, lighting and the way the performers act is what’s known as the production, all created by a team of people led by a director. You’ll be coming to see a new production of 'The Magic Flute' today. If you see another C production of 'The Magic Flute' in the future, it’ll look totally different to this one! I G IS THE WHOLE OF 'THE MAGIC FLUTE' SUNG? A Not all of it. 'The Magic Flute' is a type of German opera called a ‘singspiel’ M which means there are several moments where the performers speak instead of singing. E DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE OPERA WILL BE IN GERMAN? H Yes it does! But don’t worry.

  • Gli Esiliati in Siberia, Exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson
    Gli esiliati in Siberia, exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson How many times did Donizetti write or rewrite Otto mesi in due ore. No one has ever been quite sure: at least five times, perhaps seven - it depends how the changes he made are viewed. Between 1827 and 1845 he set and reset the music of this strange but true tale of heroism - of the eighteen-year-old daughter who struggled through snow and ice for eight months to plead with the Tsar for the release of her father from exile in Siberia, making endless changes - giving it a handful of titles, six different poets supplying new verses (including the maestro himself), with- and-without spoken dialogue, with-and-without Neapolitan dialect, with-and-without any predictable casting (the prima donna could be a soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto at will), and with-and-without any very enduring resolution at the end so that this extraordinary work has an even-more-fantastic choice of synopses than usual. It was this score that stayed with him throughout his years of international fame even when Lucia di Lammermoor and Don Pasquale were taking the world by storm. It is perfectly possible in fact that the music of his final revision of Otto mesi in due ore was the very last to which he turned his stumbling hand before mental collapse put an end to his hectic career. How did it come by its peculiar title? In 1806 Sophie Cottin published a memoir in London and Paris of a real-life Russian heroine which she called 'Elisabeth, ou Les Exilés de Sibérie'.

  • Major Themes in the Magic Flute Filled with Ritual and Symbolism
    Major Themes in The Magic Flute Filled with ritual and symbolism, Mozart’s final masterpiece is a playful but profound look at man's search for love and his struggle to attain wisdom and virtue. From the virtuosic arias of the Queen of the Night to the folksong-like melodies of the bird catcher Papageno, the full range of Mozart's miraculous talent is on display in this magical fairy-tale opera. That The Magic Flute is a barely veiled Masonic allegory cannot be doubted. It acts, in fact, as a kind of introduction to the secret society. Its story celebrates the main themes of masonry: good vs. evil, enlightenment vs. ignorance, and the virtues of knowledge, justice, wisdom and truth. The evocation of the four elements (earth, air, water and fire), the injunction of silence in the Masonic ritual, the figures of the bird, the serpent and the padlock as well as the ‘rule of three’ all play important roles in the plot or in the musical fabric of the opera (three ‘Ladies’, three ‘Boys’, three loud chords at the beginning of the overture signifying the three ‘knocks’ of the initiates at the temple, three temples, the three flats of E-flat Major which is the primary tonality of the work, etc.) All of these symbols and characteristics come from Egyptian lore and the various original texts of Masonry; hence the opera’s libretto is set in Egypt, although many productions eschew that specification. Sources: operapaedia.org & sfopera.com Definition of Freemasonry (the Masonic order) Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century.
