@@Me-uv6kc I mean, I have watched and listened to this opera since I could walk and comprehend words and the way it's portrayed here is tragicomic and as a form of Pappageno's over-dramatic emotional expressions. Even I as a small child could comprehend it that way, especially because you just know he's a drama queen and there is always a last minute save. XD The killing of the dragon/giant serpent always disturbed me a bit though.

It’s a great duet but the role is a small part. She doesn’t get an aria and is in very few scenes. Even the three ladies get more singing to do in this opera and more time on stage. Pamina and The Queen of the Night are of course the biggest roles. If you haven’t listened to the whole opera Pamina has some very lovely music and the Queen of the Night has two show stopping arias.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Nice 👍🏿. I am learning on piano 🎹, as a middle aged adult.

[@AstriaICOW]

he's honestly the best Papageno I've heard. Not that he's the best lyrical baritone, but because of his interpretation. He understood how to sing the aria. Whereas every other Papageno sang it like some timid whiny comic relief clown, Roth sang it as how it is supposed to be sung, with power, emotion, and musicality, and clarity of language (listen to his "pa..pa..pa." no other baritone sang those so powerfully like he does). Papageno was never never a comic relief character for me (even though his character does have the comic elements in them), but it is a melodramatic one characterizing the idea of a flawed man who received love despite not deserving it. And Roth IS Papageno

[@emilyleduc2411]

+AstriaICOW I perfectly agree with you.. For once i didn't see two clowns histerically hugging like in a sort of comic gag.. they truly depict the emotion of two lonely souls in the moment they realize they found their mate.. the way that Papagena/Le Roi falls in his arm then, trembling and shaking of happiness, is pure poetry

[@varshapatel5543]

check out the clever one

[@manuelfernandez5093]

im not agree, Papageno is obviously a serious character, but as Mozart used to do, it´s a comic character to. Look at Leporello in Don Giovanni for exemple. Just before this scene, Papageno didnt want to suicide, so he tried to save himself counting 1, 2 and 3. This shows that Papageno is not a clown, but it´s a character that you can play with a bit of comedy. That´s why i guess that Anton Scharinger is the best Papageno ever (in my opinion). Sorry for my english, but i wanted to give my opinion jeje...

[@AstriaICOW]

manuel fernandez I'm not sure which of what you said is different from what we said other than the best singer to sing Papageno. Detlef Roth has a bit of comedy also and he didn't make a clown of himself, that was the point. nowadays nobody sang Leporello like the clip in Amadeus anymore, with good singing. The point is to let the MUSIC carry the emotion, the comedy etc. Mozart is difficult to sing well so taking too many liberties for the sake of emotion, when the emotion is clearly written in the music, would compromise the music of Mozart. Anton Scharinger is really good. Beautiful lyrical voice. But he's not special like Detlef Roth is. He played Papageno as any other Papageno. Too exaggerated in emotion, many times even compromising the tempo of the music as he would rush here and there a little and uneven phrasing in some of the legatos, and also doesn't harmonize as well, which is sort of a travesty as Mozart is pretty much the king of harmonization in Operas. So I would disagree. Don't get me wrong, he's really good, nowadays you can't find a singer as good as either. But Detlef Roth is unbeatably unique from the perspective of keeping the music as true to Mozartian as possible, and focusing primarily on making sure the singing is good rather than taking liberties for the sake of "comedy."

[@welpp3434]

AstriaICOW I agree

Amazing voices and exquisite costumes! Mozart would definitely like that!

[@mariadoliveira5830]

Mozart, who was perhaps, the biggest intuitive genius of harmony, said that this without dissonance, would be unbearable, was also the first musician to realize he could give psychological depth to his opera characters, through music. In “The Magic Flute” we can see this. For example Tamino and Pamina, noble characters with high ideals, who sing calm and serious melodies, the Queen of the Night, whose diabolic characteristics, are expressed through fast notes in the vocal area of extremely high notes or the dear and familiar vision of the common people, in the gay melodies of Papageno/Papagena.
