"Lulu or the Skywalk" (English: Lulu or the Skywalk)

Japanese: 《Lulu,oder die Zauberflöte》(英語表記)LuluoderdieZauberflote
"Lulu or the Skywalk" (English: Lulu or the Skywalk)

...It belongs to the Singspiel, a popular opera style in 18th century Germany, and its overwhelming success made it a decisive step in the development of German national opera, which led to R.

The story is about the protagonist Tamino, who is asked by the Queen of the Night to rescue her daughter Pamina, and his comical companion Papageno, who, relying on a magic flute that can charm any wild animal, enter the country of Sarastro, the ruler of the Temple of the Sun, who has imprisoned Pamina. The subject matter is taken from "Lulu, or the Magic Flute" in a collection of fairy tales edited by CM Wieland. However, the libretto is strongly influenced by the ideas of Freemasonry, to which Mozart himself belonged, and it is difficult to truly understand this opera without deep insight into their ideas and rituals.
