Listen to our light-hearted overview of Mozart’s penultimate opera, The Magic Flute, the fourth most frequently performed opera world wide. In this week’s Opera Cheat Sheet, Classical 91.7’s program director St.John Flynn and opera expert Eric Skelly take a light-hearted look at Mozart's beloved "Singspiel," The Magic Flute, an allegory of the education of humankind progressing from chaos to rational enlightenment to make "the Earth a heavenly kingdom, and mortals like the gods."
