Biography of the composer : Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart -- History of the work : The magic flute -- Characters -- The plot -- Oh help me! oh help me! or else I must perish -- A bird-catcher is what I am -- This portrait is enchanting fair -- Those men who feel the force of passion -- The power of your magic notes -- That sound is so lovely -- Every good, courageous man needs a set of bells like this -- O Isis and Osiris -- All can feel the joys of loving -- The rage of hell it boils and burns within me -- In these most sacred temples -- A girlfriend or a wife would be Papageno's wish -- Soon, rising to announce the morning.
