One of Mozart's greatest operas, this work achieved immediate success upon its first performance in 1791 and has continued to enchant listeners ever since. A complex allegory glorifying Freemasonry and its emphasis on brotherhood, charity, and benevolence, the opera was particularly admired by Beethoven, who praised it for containing everything from North German Choral-Vorspiel to Volkslied.

Why is Italian given as the primary text?,
By
This review is from: The Magic Flute Vocal Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
The notes are clear and easy to read, but the font for the text is quite small, and to make matters worse, this edition (Dover Vocal Scores) gives Italian as the primary language (immediatly below the notes). The German text is in italics *under* the Italian. If you buy this edition, you're going to need an English copy of the libretto - all the text (lyrics, stage directions, and unsung diologue) are given in German and Italian.

Great,
By Cheryl (UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magic Flute Vocal Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
I saw the opera in Vienna this year so I came home and ordered the CD and this vocal score. I was pleasantly surprised to find out besides the music were the words (German) between the songs. I'm having fun playing the music and remembering the opera. The book arrived promptly and in good condition.

Singing it,
This review is from: The Magic Flute Vocal Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
Beautifull music for Sopran (Pamina and Queen of the night) and for Bariton (Papageno). (Also Tenor (Tamino) and Bas (Sarastro))The book has all the highlights from the opera, clearly writen for Piano and Vocals. Some bits are easier, some harder, but the music is superb!
