5:25 - Mozart had originally written this duet quite differently. Both originally cried out "Papageno!", "Papagena!" a few times in amazement. When Schikaneder heard this, he called down into the orchestra, "Hey, Mozart! That's no good, the music must express greater astonishment. They must both stare dumbly at each other, then Papageno must begin to stammer" ... I guess Mozart could "rewrite what's perfect!" Anyone know if/where the original exists?

5:25 is best part :D

Al igual que Papageno (en 6:08) expresa su deseo de tener muchos hijos, yo tenía ese deseo desde los veinticinco años. Finalmente se me concedió tener un hermoso bebé (¡gracias, linda esposita mía!) --a los 58. Es por eso que esta aria me llega al corazón.
