The Magic Flute K. 620 is an opera composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791. It is a Singspiel, a form of German opera that incorporates both spoken dialogue and musical numbers. The libretto was written by Emanuel Schikaneder, who also portrayed the character of Papageno in the opera's premiere. The Magic Flute is a fantastical tale that combines elements of comedy, romance, and Masonic symbolism. Mozart composed the opera during the final year of his life and it premiered on September 30, 1791, at the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna. The opera's enduring popularity lies in its captivating music, memorable characters, and its exploration of themes such as love, wisdom, and enlightenment.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
