FGO’s ‘The Magic Flute’ at Broward Center is a monumental made-in-South-Florida production

Whether or not you’re a classical music enthusiast, you’ll likely recognize the title of “The Magic Flute,” the final operatic work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart before his death in 1791 at age 35. Or maybe you will recall the captivating melody of the Queen of the Night’s aria, an ubiquitous piece in operatic history. It premiered just two months before Mozart’s death, at Vienna’s Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden, and the whimsical musical fable (the libretto written by Emanuel Schikaneder and divided into two acts) remains more than a plain parable of the struggle between good and evil, the simple and the sublime, with a touch of Masonic rituals.
