Dean’s Message
Dear Friends,
We are so pleased that you are joining us as Florida State
Opera returns to the stage with our 2021-22 season. We
hope you will enjoy this magical and somewhat sci-fi
version of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, conjured up by
director Matthew Lata and the production team. Teddy
Moore (scenic), Barry Steele (lighting & projections)
and Christina Marullo (costumes) have brought their
design talents to life and we are thrilled to have a
visually stunning production for the final performance
for our dear colleague, Douglas Fisher.
Professor Fisher will be retiring this academic year and we are celebrating
his career with an illustrious bang of sights and sounds in this audience
favorite. His tenure at FSU has been filled with years of mentorship for voice,
directing, and orchestral students - from exploring the vast world of opera, to
musical preparation for each role that has appeared onstage, to conducting
these masterful works. His expertise and generous nature will be missed in
the coming years.
Opera has long held a special place of prominence at the College of Music
and it serves as an ideal vehicle to showcase the talents of our musicians
and the professional quality of our productions. If you are one of many in
our community who has been a regular patron of opera at Florida State
University, we welcome you back for this wonderful production in Ruby
Diamond Concert Hall. If you are new, we hope you enjoy your experience
here with us tonight. We look forward to seeing you for the spring production
of Conrad Susa’s Transformations. Thank you for your continued support of
our programs and students.
Sincerely,
M. Todd Queen

Synopsis
ACT I:
Tamino, a young man full of dreams, is looking at the night sky when the
constellations come to life. Draco, the dragon, materializes and chases him.
He faints while three servants of the Queen of the Night appear and destroy
it. The ladies are attracted to him but leave to alert the Queen. Papageno,
a bird catcher, enters and introduces himself as another servant of the
Queen. Tamino takes on the role of a prince, which has been one of his
dreams. The ladies return to give Tamino a picture of Pamina, the Queen’s
daughter. Tamino falls in love. The Queen appears and tasks Tamino with
rescuing Pamina from the “evil” Sarastro. Tamino agrees. The ladies give
Tamino a magic flute and Papageno a set of magic bells, instructing him
to join Tamino. The three ladies introduce three spirits who will guide the
travelers.
Meanwhile, Pamina, trying to escape from Sarastro’s palace, is
caught by Monostatos, one of Sarastro’s followers who has left the path of
righteousness. Papageno finds Pamina. They trick Monostatos, who runs
off. Papageno tells Pamina that her mother sent a prince to rescue her and
that the prince loves her. Papageno laments that he cannot find love. Tamino
arrives at Sarastro’s temple. There, he meets the Speaker, a high priest. The
Speaker tells Tamino that he must learn patience. Tamino, confused, begins
to realize that the Queen has lied about Sarastro, who in reality is an aging,
benevolent ruler. When voices confirm that Pamina lives, he uses the flute
to express his joy, charming a group of monsters in the process.
Papageno and Pamina arrive at Sarastro’s temple where Monostatos
and his band of greasers try to recapture Pamina. Papageno uses his magic
bells to defeat the kidnappers. Hearing of Sarastro’s arrival, Pamina realizes
that she must simply tell the truth. Townsfolk arrive with Sarastro. He tells
Pamina that her mother is deceiving her, and that she will meet a man
who will be her ally. In the meantime, Monostatos has captured Tamino
and brings him to Sarastro. Recognizing that Monostatos has gone too far,
Sarastro has him punished. He then welcomes Tamino and declares that in
order for him and Papageno to know enlightenment, they must endure a set
of trials.
ACT II:
Tamino and Papageno are prepared to face initiation. Pamina bids
farewell to Tamino as Sarastro prays for divine help. Tamino and Papageno
are led to their first trial, which is to keep silent. They are tested immediately
when the three ladies confront them. Papageno fails but Tamino remains
steadfast.
Pamina is searching for Tamino when Monostatos finds her. His
advances are thwarted by the entrance of the Queen. Pamina tells her
mother that Tamino has joined Sarastro’s temple. The Queen is enraged
and gives Pamina a dagger, telling her to kill Sarastro. Monostatos attempts
to blackmail Pamina into accepting his advances. Sarastro appears, and he
runs away. Pamina begs Sarastro to forgive her mother and he assures her
that it is unnecessary, as the temple is a place of peace. Sarastro, weakened
from his long struggle with the forces of evil, passes away.
Tamino and Papageno are led to the next trial. Again, breaking his vow
of silence, Papageno complains of thirst. An elderly woman gives him a
drink and introduces herself as his lover before vanishing. Pamina rushes
in, having heard Tamino’s flute. Tamino obeys his vow of silence and does
not respond, causing Pamina to believe that he is indifferent. The priests
lead Tamino to the next trial. Papageno prefers wine. The old woman returns
and offers him water. After Papageno promises to marry her, the old woman
transforms into a young Papagena, but the priests separate them declaring
Papageno unworthy.
Pamina contemplates ending her life over Tamino and her mother’s
command to murder. The three spirits stop her. They bring her to Tamino
as he is being led to the final set of trials by two armored men. Tamino is
released from his vow of silence and with the protection of the magic flute,
the two pass through the final trials of fire and water.
Papageno, believing that he failed his trials and failed at love,
contemplates suicide. The three spirits stop him and reveal that there
is a reason to live and her name is Papagena! Papageno and Papagena
contemplate their future family.
Monostatos leads the Queen and her ladies into the temple with plans
to destroy it. Before they can take action, they are cast into eternal night.
With this final battle complete, the temple celebrates the induction of
Tamino and Pamina as their future leaders.
Director’s Note
How could an opera whose story includes an unhealthy dose of 18th-
century misogyny and racism, turns suicide into a game and is cluttered
with obscure Masonic symbolism still have relevance in the modern world?
The music? The characters? The story line? The Magic Flute challenges
its producers and singer/actors not only to answer that question but to
present the piece in a way that while honest about its flaws, can find
common ground with an audience. In recent years, we are in the process
of examining our repertoire and trying to meld historical attitudes with our
own. How do we approach this piece?
Under it all, FLUTE is a coming-of-age story full of optimism. At its
heart are two young people, Tamino and Pamina, who are as yet untainted
with despair, anger, or cynicism. They are put through a series of trials that
allow them to gain an awareness not only of who they can become but that
learning to love and trust are essential parts of the process of growing up.
Their sometimes cerebral path is contrasted with Papageno’s journey – an
Everyman who chooses his own, simpler road to happiness.
Our production emphasizes imagination and dreams. Tamino, a teenager,
who joins the forefathers of discovery and science by seeking answers in
the stars. His imagination becomes reality, not only by transforming Draco
the Dragon into a real dragon, but by allowing him to become the “Prince”
he has always dreamed of being. He meets his heart’s desire, who has her
own dreams about love. It’s not easy at times, but it works. There’s nothing
wrong with having a happy ending. We’ve chosen to set it roughly in the
1950s – a more naïve period than our own, where some of the issues in the
libretto are more easily approached. Our set is abstract, and projections
will define what the characters are imagining will happen. To be honest, we
have changed some words in the libretto to blunt its issues. There’s nothing
wrong with that. The music deserves to be heard.
In the Act I Finale, Tamino holds his magic flute to his heart and says –
“mit jeden Tone meinem Dank zu schildern wie er hier entsprang.” A rough
translation –“I can express what I feel in my heart through music.” So that’s
what we’re doing. Please, enjoy the show.
