Mozart’s beloved “The Magic Flute” is one of the most performed operas in the world; a fantasy adventure with dragons and genies and gorgeous music. Although a comedy that can be appreciated just as that, it is also a profound endorsement of the ideals of the Enlightenment and a celebration of the nobility of the human spirit.
