One of Mozart's last works, The Magic Flute is by turns sublime and ridiculous. It's an opera where true love, jealousy and freemasonry are afoot in an imaginary ancient Eygpt. And with its evil Queen of the Night, giant serpent, pairs of lovers and, of course, magic flute it could well be a pantomime farce. But it just happens to have some of the greatest music Mozart ever wrote. This performance was recorded at the 2012 Salzburg Festival with veteran period instrument specialist Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting his long-time ensemble, the Vienna Concentus Musicus. Presented by Andrew McGregor.
