To do this, I will investigate the fantastic worlds of two operas premiered by the same opera company, both with libretti written by Emanuel Schikaneder: Der Stein der Weisen oder Die Zauberinsel (1790) and Die Zauberflöte (1791). David J. Buch’s seminal book Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests (2008) explores the intertextual threads of magical ideas in Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte, that is, how librettists and composers translated and reprocessed magical themes. I will draw on Buch’s comparison to show how these intertextual connections can be read for their broad cultural resonances. In this paper, I will first establish the connections between Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte in plot and in music. Then I will show how the later opera diverges from its predecessor and discuss how it manages to diminish the polarity of rationality and irrationality considered central to Enlightenment thinking. Ultimately, I argue, Die Zauberflöte facilitates its audience’s access to Enlightenment values by magical means.

    The House Composers of the Theater Auf Der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1

    The House Composers of the Theater auf der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1 DAVID J. BUCH Some of the most important theatrical music in Europe was produced at the Theater auf der Wieden in suburban Vienna in the years 1789 to 1801. Beginning with the immensely popular Die zween Anton oder der dumme Gärtner aus dem Gebirge in July 1789, Emanuel Schikaneder produced one successful singspiel after another. The most successful of these were quickly staged in other European venues, both in the original German and in translation.2 Yet, until recently, we have known only a single opera from that period, Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Because scholars have not studied this repertory,3 a myth of singularity for Mozart’s singspiel has dominated the secondary literature. But Mozart’s opera was in fact the fourth in a series of fairy-tale singspiels based on texts associated with Christoph Martin Wieland. And the music of Mozart’s singspiel is firmly rooted in a unique style developed at the theater by a group of talented composers who interacted with Mozart, both learning from the master and influencing him in turn. Another myth about this theater has also persisted in modern literature, namely, that the music was of an inferior quality and that the performances were rather crude. While there is one derisive review of a performance at the Theater auf der Wieden by a north German commentator in 1793,4 most contemporary reviews were positive, noting a high standard of musical performance. In his unpublished autobiography, Ignaz von Seyfried recalled performances of operas in the early 1790s by Mozart, Süßmayr, Hoffmeister etc., writing that they were performed with rare skill (ungemein artig).

These annual rituals and celebrations provide a connection through time with people we knew and those we have yet to meet. Ask any alum who performed in Kindergar- ten Circus, May Day or St. George and the Dragon, or com- peted in Red and Blue, and the detailed recall will astound you. Many alumni parents continue to relive those magical moments through their own children, and new parents delight in the sense of community these occasions bring. At Potomac we focus on developing exemplary habits of heart and mind, recognizing and nurturing that relationship through the learning traditions that are at the core of a Potomac education. From song to play to as- sembly to the exploration of our woods and streams, these are “everyday” kinds of traditions that also frame our school experience.

Their letters and writings are avidly preserved and they are much written about by others. The persistant biographer need only visit libraries and fam- ily or historical society collections to piece together the details of the person’s life. Simply because the person was or is famous is usually sufficient motivation to make the effort to understand and describe their life, even if it has been done repeatedly before. In contrast, people who do not have a profound impact on their contempory general public can fade with time, leaving only a few family anecdotes and pho- tographs for their grandchildren Amy Heard in Washington and great grandchildren. Occa- sionally, however, such fameless people do leave enough traces in the forms of letters, notes, and journals to permit a determined researcher to piece together bits of their life years later, but the motivation to do so is usually lacking unless the person lost in the past is of particular interest to the sleuth of the present. As an obvious example, the life of ancestors is often of strong interest to a descendent who never knew them and knows little about them.

    ___________________________________________________________________________ 2 MUSIKSTUNDE mit Trüb Donnerstag, 20. 9. 2012 „Hölzerne Worte, magische Bretter: Emanuel Schikaneder zum 200. Todestag“ (4) MUSIK: INDIKATIV, NACH CA. ... SEC AUSBLENDEN Emanuel Schikaneders Werkverzeichnis liest sich wie ein deutscher Zeitschriftenladen: „Der Spiegel von Arkadien“, „Der Stern aus Samarkand“, „Die Zeit der Weisen“ - fehlt eigentlich nur noch „Die Bunte von Bethlehem“. Schikaneder hat mit vielen Komponisten zusammengearbeitet, darunter auch mit sich selbst. Alle sind heute vergessen, außer Mozart natürlich. Mit dem jungen Beethoven plante der Prinzipal „Vestas Feuer“, einmal mehr eine raunend-mystische Zauberoper mit komischen Einlagen; aber was Mozart noch inspirierte, sagte dem knorrig-pragmatischen Beethoven nur Bahnhof: Er fing zwar an zu komponieren, brach dann aber ab; und schlug sich lieber später mit der Menschengeschichte „Eleonore“ beziehungsweise „Fidelio“ herum, ganz ohne magisches Tralala. So wurde, nach Mozarts Tod 1791, dessen Schüler und Assistent Franz Xaver Süßmayr zu Schikaneders Hauskomponisten – da bekam dieser immer noch einen Hauch von Mozart, aber nicht dessen mitunter schwer erträgliches Genie. Süßmayr soll im Hause Mozart wirklich „Männchen für alles“ gewesen sein, außer Kompositionsschüler des Meisters: Er kopierte Stimmen, verwaltete sekretarial die Geschäfte des kränkelnden Mozart, blätterte ihm die Noten um, als er in der „Zauberflöte“ das Hammerclavier schlug, und komponierte auf Bitten von Constanze Mozart das Requiem zu Ende, nachdem der alte Hexenmeister verschieden war. Angeblich soll der 25-jährige Süßmayr Constanze auch als Lustknabe gedient haben, aber das ist mehr als zweifelhaft. Gesichert ist, dass Schikaneder sich den Ersatz-Mozart für sein Bibel-Panorama „Moses oder Der Auszug aus Ägypten“ krallte, und danach für den „Spiegel von Arkadien“, erneut ein Potpourri mit Zaubertränken, Opferritualen, Liebesverwirrungen, ausweglosen Situationen und natürlich Happy- End.
