Mozart's "The Magic Flute"
Mozart's "The Magic Flute" is an opera composed in 1791, blending elements of Singspiel, a form of German opera that includes both singing and spoken dialogue. The story follows a young prince named Tamino who embarks on a quest to rescue Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night. Along the way, he encounters various characters and challenges that test his courage and wisdom.

It features memorable arias, including Pamina's poignant "Ach, ich fühl's" and the powerful "Der Hölle Rache" sung by the Queen of the Night. "The Magic Flute" remains one of Mozart's most beloved works.
