Book Reviews of The Magic Flute
Book Review: Mozart's Masonic Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
Symbols of Freemasonry abound in this sublime opera which has intrigued and fascinated freemasons and music lovers. This book and two compact discs present the ideal opportunity to study and enjoy this remarkable work. Decide for yourself whether it is a charming tale or the secrets of freemasonry exposedBook Review: Mother of five
Summary: 5 Stars
My children are fascinated by the illustrations and the music. This is a beautiful introduction to opera. My oldest is five years old, but even my two year old is mesmerized while we read the book. I wish I could find other audiobooks like this one. I strongly recommend this set.Book Review: Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" is wonderfully explained.
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the book "Magic Flute" for Christmas. Since then I have read the book twice and listened to the included CDs 25 times. The book covers the essential elements of the history of the opera, including Mozart's reasons for writing this opera and the events that influanced it. As well as a history lesson I received a German lesson. The included libretto is in the original German, as well as the English translation. Comments about different performances of this opera are scattered throughout the book, giving the reader depth and understanding to the opera. The CDs that are included with the book are wonderfully done. One can hardly listen to the opera and not experiance every emotion possible. Mozart has the ability to transform ones scenses from on extreem to the other. In short this book and CD is highly educational and entertaining.Book Review: It's a great book.

I got The Magic Flute for Christmas. My teacher is almost finished reading it to the class. We also listen to the CD after she reads the part to it. Some people in my class don't know if they like it a lot or not. Most of them love it. Ruth Stuart, 2nd gradeBook Review: Fantastic package for opera beginners and aficionados
Summary: 5 Stars
The Black Dog Opera Library series are beautifully packaged and way underpriced. They each contain 2 CDs of the complete opera in the inside covers of a compact hardcover book whcih contains photos and commentary, as well as an annotated libretto in the original language and English translation, referenced to the CD, and notes and photos of the main performers and conductor. The performances are usually classic ones and though not necessarily recorded in the digital age they all sound gorgeous. I have only been able to find 4 (Magic Flute, Aida, La Boheme, and Carmen) and wish there were more. The only flaws in my opinion are that there is no information regarding the date or location of the performances nor is there a complete cast listing
