Note: In 1964, the Metropolitan Opera commissioned Marc Chagall to design the stage sets and costumes for its first production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s final operatic masterpiece The Magic Flute. A fantastical tale of romance and adventure set in ancient Egypt, “The Magic Flute” follows the handsome prince Tamino as he pursues his true love, the beautiful princess Pamina. It is an opera in two acts accompanied by a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder.
Considered by Marc Chagall the greatest of all operas, “so spiritual, so religious,” he attempted to draw parallels between the Bible and Mozart’s opera To him, they both shared the fundamental principles of goodness and truth; “For me there is nothing on earth that approaches those two perfections, The Magic Flute and the Bible,” he said.
