Design for a production of Mozarts opera Die Zauberflote ( The Magic Flute ), 1816. Artist: Karl Friedrich Schinkel
Design for a production of Mozarts opera Die Zauberflote ( The Magic Flute ), 1816. Fire and water, two of the ordeals that Tamino, the hero had to undergo before being received by Sarastro the High Priest in the temple of Isis and Osiris. The plot of the opera, originally produced in 1791, has overtones of freemasonry. Some say the character the Queen of the Night represents Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Karl Friedrich Schinkel's exquisite design for a production of Mozart's opera, Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute), in 1816. The image depicts two pivotal moments in the opera: fire and water, symbolizing the arduous trials that Tamino, the hero, must endure before gaining acceptance into Sarastro's temple. Die Zauberflote was originally produced in 1791 and is known to have Masonic influences within its plot. Some speculate that the character of the Queen of the Night represents Empress Maria Theresa, adding an intriguing historical layer to this artistic masterpiece. Schinkel's design beautifully incorporates elements from ancient Egyptian culture, with references to goddess Isis and god Osiris. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail transport viewers back to the enchanting world of Mozart's opera. This print not only captures a significant moment in German-Austrian arts history but also serves as a testament to Schinkel's talent as both an architect and artist. His ability to bring together various religious and cultural motifs creates a visually stunning representation of this beloved opera. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Mozart's genius and his enduring legacy in the world of music. This print allows us to appreciate both his composition and Schinkel's visionary interpretation through their collaboration on Die Zauberflote.
