The Magic Flute

Queen of the Night

The Queen of the Night is vengeful and desperate. She wants her power back and has lost her belief in true love.

Mozart’s music reflects the Queen of the Night’s deeply hurt feelings. Her pain, which is the breeding ground for her pitiless desire for revenge is tangible. Love leads to hate, and hate leads to her downfall.

Pamina

Pamina is a pure soul. She believes in and symbolizes the power of love.

Mozart’s music for Pamina covers the entire range of love. We can feel her great joy, her great disappointment and even her thoughts of suicide. No other Mozart woman is as musically authentic as Pamina.
