Advantages: Good introduction to the Opera and Mozart Disadvantages: Narrative breaks up the musical flow
In a promotion aimed to make Opera more understandable and accessible, Naxos have produced a series of CDs entitle ?Opera explained?. The ninth in the series released on 22nd October 2002, is The Magic Flute composed by Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.

Basic Plot Premise.
