COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
One of the most impressive incunabula of the intellectual enthusiasm in the Romantic period for the Orient (and especially for Egypt) was Schinkel's stage design for Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. For the Queen of the Night it shows the Egyptian starry sky. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening (streaming mp3, 3 minutes):<BR><A HREF="#" onClick="w=window.open ('/music1/mozart/mozart_magic_flute.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350');w.opener=this;w.focus();return true"><B>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), Act 2, Chorus of the Priests</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE>
