Aperçu du contenu
Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte:
All Acts.
BACKGROUND
- Mozart: Helped establish the Classical style at the end of the 18th century.
↪ Was a contemporary and friend of Haydn, also knew Beethoven.
- One of the first to write in the vernacular (language of the people: German) instead
of Italian as operas initially were, having been invented in Italy in the early 17th
Century.
- Die Entführung aus dem Serail was one of the first Classical operas to be
written in German although his later operas were mostly written in Italian.
- In Classical opera there was more variation of mood within arias than in the
Baroque period.
↪ Duets and larger ensembles became an essential ingredient of the style.
- Singspiel ('play with singing’): Like a modern musical in relationship between
music and spoken dialogue.
↪ The style features magical storyline with comedy.
↪ More accessible to middle classes, instead of just nobility.
- The Magic Flute: Written in Mozart ́s last year of life.
↪ Was an immediate success and performed all through Europe.
↪ The work is strongly connected with the Freemason movement, with number 3 significance
reflected in music and plot line.
- The hero Tamino has to prove his worthiness to marry Pamina.
↪ Goes through series of tests with evil Queen of the Night trying to stop his quest.
↪ Eventually love conquers all. Comic subplot involves the bird catcher Papageno.
