The Magic Flute is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. The work premiered on September 30th, 1791 at Schikaneder's theater in Vienna. In the opera, the Egyptian prince Tamino is rescued at the last second by the three ladies who serve the Queen of the Night. The queen shows Tamino a picture of Pamina, the daughter of the Queen, and Tamino instantly falls in love with her. The queen tells Tamino of her daughter's kidnapping at the hands of Sarastro. Tamino responds with great enthusiasm to her command that he frees Pamina. As a protection against danger, they give Tamino the gift of a magic flute.
