Discovering Opera - The Magic Flute

22 October 2011 by Cristina

Discovering Opera presented by Cristina Burns.

The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Magic Flute is an opera in two acts composed in 1791 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form that included both singing and spoken dialogue.

During World War I, in an unnamed country, a soldier named Tamino is sent by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina from the clutches of the supposedly evil Sarastro. But all is not as it seems.

Discovering Opera - Andrea Chenier

28 September 2011 by Cristina

Discoveriing Opera presented by Cristina Burns.

Andrea Chenier by Umberto Giordano.

Andrea Chenier (1896) is a fiery verisimo work very loosely based on the life and writings of a French poet who was guillotined during the French Revolution. The opera excitingly depicts the excesses of the French aristocracy, the idealism of the revolutionaries in their dreams of freedom, equality, and brotherhood, and the excesses of blood lust that ended the Revolution.
