“Sounds of Enlightenment: Mozart’s Magic Flute”
A Lecture by Professor Christopher I. Lehrich
Mozart’s last opera is a bizarre fairytale filled with monsters, a dark Queen, a sorcerous brotherhood, bird people, and a prince rescuing a princess. Only genius could spin musical gold from such a tangle of straw. But is there a deeper meaning there? Why does Die Zauberfote still speak so strongly to us today? Join Christopher I. Lehrich as he explores the hidden depths of Mozart’s most beloved opera. The lecture will be followed by a short reception. Free and open to the public.
