Magic Flute
The world's most famous child prodigy, and the finest composer & performer of his time, Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756.
Mozart's finest opera was "The Magic Fluet", written in the last year of his life. The opera, a fairy story, tells of an Egyptian Prince, Tamino, who sets out to rescue Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, with a magic fluet and a bird catcher, Papageno.
The Opera was instantly popular.
In November 1791, Mozart caught an undiagnosed & terrible fever, & on 5 December he died. After a simple funeral, he was burried in an unmarked grave.
