The magic flute [videorecording] / text, Emanuel Schikaneder ; music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ; director, Göran Järvefelt ; produced and directed for television by Thomas Olofsson ; co-produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk/Drottningholm Court Theatre Production AB/RM Arts/Swedish Television, Channel 1-Drama/SBS Australia.

Intertwining music of purity and beauty with the conventions of musical comedy, this opera is an exploration of man's search for truth and his confusion between the forces of light and dark. Mozart's final operatic legacy is a great work of the Enlightenment era.
