Transcript

The magic fluid Mozart's great opera. I found in my research an opera actually written by Mozart, but it said Salieri on it. But it is understood that Mozart actually wrote it, so you can imagine what kind of opera it is and put Celia his name on it.

Anyway, I'll tell you a little about it because it's quite interesting. It is in one act only. It begins with a 45-minute intermission because it's such a short opera. When the curtain rises, first you hear the overture.

When the chore is over, the curtain rises of course. Otherwise you couldn't see a thing. On the stage are two large trees, one is on this side and one is on the other side. And that indicates the small forest.

Now the tenor comes in, he is supposed to meet his uprano, but she hasn't arrived yet, so he hides behind one of the trees in order to surprise her when she comes in a little later, which she does.

And when she comes in a little later, which she does, she can't find him because he is hidden behind the tree. and she doesn't know that. Of course she knows it because she must have seen it during rehearsals.

But she pretends. He's a lad, she's plain stupid. She now hides behind the other tree, waiting for him. But he's there already, so this is a little mess. Now the chorus comes in, but nobody knows why except Mozart and he's dead.

Finally her father shows up. He's very angry because he just wants to get out of the opera as fast as possible and go home. And he decided she must die. And she thinks her death area.
