Die Zauberfloete (The magic flute) - Metropolitan Opera ; 1991

Papageno ;
He is actual main actor of Die Zauberfloete. A bird-human sells bird. (That's kinda paradox but funny!)









Papageno & Pamina ;
Princess Pamina is found by Papageno, first. Not by Prince Tamino. Anyway, she will fall in love with Tamino.









The queen of night ;
She doesn't show up lots of times in this opera, but the most famous aria is sung by her. It's known as The aria of the queen of night. Since it's very high tone, not so many soprano can sing this song. Only few dramatic soprano can perform it.






Papageno & Papagena;
They are the cutest couple of this drama. Personaly, I like the duet when they see each other as the first time. "Pa pa pa pa-ge-no", "Pa pa pa pa-ge-na"~
