Die Zauberflöte The Magic Flute Papageno Papagena

[ronninj]

J'adore.

[Nachomycat]

I also recorded a VHS of this opera (Live from Lincoln Center) which was performed at NYC Opera which I also attended that season. Would also like a DVD if it can be located. It was a great performance. Sadly, Steven Dickson passed on in his early 40s

[babette602001]

I recorded this performance years ago on a vhs tape and would love finding a DVD copy if it exists. I absolutely lobe this performance of the Magic Flute

[Supernorbi]

[derangedyoshi]

[davemission]

mozart revoluciono la opera y la musica

[sjs06yhi]

wow, I love opera from now on!!! Stephen Dickson is great, love him too! If anybody hears about a whole recording of this opera with him please let us all know. Ich suche eine komplette Aufnahme mit Stephen Dickson in dieser Oper.

[nigouer]

he forgets the text at 1:29

[SalemMietz]

@nigouer no he does not -.-

[twizzle99]

@SalemMietz  He does! listen carefully

[SalemMietz]

@twizzle99 I really don't hear it ^^ do you speak german? I bealieve he's just taking a breath there...

[Quappliieeeeeeee]

@SalemMietz he really forgets it, it should be " weil das leben mir missfällt"

[ebenezer888]

it's the first time i watch opera and cry, this aria is so simple and sweet!

[MorMoribundus]

Papageno singt gut, aber ich muss sagen, dass es am Anfang irgendwie langweilig ist... na ja, wer hat einmal Anton Scharinger spielen und singen sehen... doch als Papagena kam, wachte Papageno endlich auf und das Duett ist wirklich toll :-))

Sorry of my english, I can german better... the beginning is boring, I don´t like Papageno´s acting (he is singing good). But when Papagena comes, than is the duett great :-)

[MtnSiren89]

Does this guy remind anyone else of Will Ferrell? lol. :)

[pelares666]

@MtnSiren89 you're right¡ looool

[capachina]

@MtnSiren89 in elf....ya hahaha amazing

[brandon9021010]

sublime y hermoso

[fanchette122]

[nigouer]

terrible

[aa4285]

everybody's a critic.

[belenbby]

i am doing this play at school and we are 6th graders its gonna be cool!!! :)

[ZenPapageno]

God can have His music. I like humanity's. Thank you, Mozart.

[ZenPapageno]

@persianopera1 Why are you here? You should be listening to GOD'S MUSIC -- precious, dry, mathematical compositions by Bach that we don't appreciate or deserve, instead of raunchy Mozart stuff.

[IDidntComeUpWithName]

@ZenPapageno ok, just had to say that I Disagree that Bachs Works are dry.

[laustin6]

This is just the most adorable thing I've seen in opera. I love it!

[Artis4n]

Wow, great version! Really enjoyed, well sung and good acted. I am just wondering how Mozart came to it, I mean, what he felt when he finally discovered what should be Papageno & Papagena reencounter in the language of music, i. e. the language of the Universe (Superstring theory)! Lovely!

[supraludwick83]

Please....let us enjoy God's voice (Mozart's musik), let us not disturb this by talking about Verdi!

Verdi es una porqueria amigo...

[napsuta]

Brilliant

[rococallas]

Me encanta este barítono porque no deja el estilo Mozartiano ni por un instante. No canta con la voz como si estuviera interpretando un rol Verdiano. Es libre el sonido, puro.

[QuakerILYA]

thanks for posting they both did a good job

[chibiviolinist21]

my favorite part!!! :D

[abandeli]

The final meeting of Papageno and Papagena is the best moment of the opera and one of the most beautiful moments in the history of art, not only because of the music itself but also because of the joy it brings to the audience. It's an ubnforgetable experience to watch this masterpiece on stage, among other stunned spectators. It's magic. Thanks, Mozart, for your 35 years in our planet.

[allegromarcato]

@abandeli It's good... but the best? Have you listened to the Meistersingers ?

[2897013]

poor poor Papagino

[AleAlessandra13]

amazing!!

[Martins2012]

I never get tired of this. Amazing!!!

[OKCChampionForArts]

Does anyone know how to get access to this video. My mother is trying to get Mr. Dickson in the Oklahoma Music Hall of fame. All documentation/videos/audios will help.

[iloveteaandcoffee]

What was the theme of this? Why do the 3 boys have crowns?

[Bobbyo60]

What I find sad that Mr. Dickson died in 1991 at the age of 40.

Much too young....

[nishmat]

Why do people have to laugh when it's about suicide? Papageno is a manodepressive figure...

[KMMconnection]

Actually, he isn't that serious about committing suicide. It's just an idle threat.

[iloveteaandcoffee]

It's called tasteful comedy.

[shesoutofsync]

Aw, they're so cute together. This is my favorite piece from Die Zauberflote. ^^

[effigyoflight]

I liek it best when they finally meet and start that ... chirping thing >.>

[Bobbyo60]

Well done!!

How very sweet!

[LaGrenouillle]

but it's german (aber es ist auf deutsch)

hehe, i'm from germany lol

[PazkalTheRazkal]

yeah, but he sings some bullshit there ^^ "weil das leben gute nacht, gute nacht du falsche welt" - just for one example.

but well. he didn't notice - and the audience obviously didn't either ;-)

[luigishowtime6]

Mozart forever!!!

[KatherineXIX]

One of the best Papagenos on Youtube...I loved the way he did the flute bit! Except...did he "heil Hitler" at 3:44? Haha, and I also love the staging of the duet.

[BroadwayStAr1nce]

wow we had better boys then in our chours lol and taller...caus ei know the director of it now was it then if my friend in it has been there since 1996 and he has been there much longer than her....well nice to see this cause we havent done it in forever and ive seen the met one on the tv so wanted see the changes

[Narbleh]

Best version of this I've seen on here. Delightful :)

[rigolissimo]

sous-titre allemand ou français svp

[Narbleh]

J'ai fait de mon mieux :)

Ma petite femme, ma colombe, ma belle !

Cela ne sert à rien. Je l'ai perdue. Je suis né malchanceux !

J'ai papoté contre mon voeu.

Alors, c'est bien fait pour moi.

Depuis que j'ai goûté de ce bon vin...

Depuis que j'ai rencontré ma femme idéale, mon coeur s'enflamme !

[Narbleh]

Papagena ! Femme de mon coeur !

Papagena ! La plus douce des colombes !

Cela ne sert à rien. C'est vain. Je ne veux plus vivre.

Quand on aime en vain, il vaut mieux mourir et y mettre fin !

Je vais décorer cet arbre...

en y pendant ... moi !

Puisque la vie a été si vilaine, je dis adieu au monde.

La vie m'a été vilaine, ne m'a jamais donné de femme à aimer.

[Narbleh]

C'est fini. Je vais mourir. Chères demoiselles, souvenez-vous de moi. Bien sûr, il y aura peut-être une dame qui ait pitié avant que je ne me pende. Une dame qui puisse encore me sauver. Parlez ! Oui ou non ? Personne ne m'entend. Alors, vous voulez me voir pendre ? Papageno, mets un terme à ta pitoyable vie. Je leur laisse encore une chance. Je compte jusqu'à trois. Un. Deux. Deux et demie. Trois. Bien, voilà. Puisque personne ne veut me retenir... ...adieu, monde cruel !

[Narbleh]

Arrêtez ! Arrêtez !

Vous n'avez qu'une seule vie à vivre.

Oh mais oui, c'est facile à dire pour vous. On ne vous a pas brisé le coeur. Vous n'avez pas perdu votre chérie.

Sonnez de vos grelots. Elles vont vous ramener votre petite femme.

Comme je suis sot ! J'ai oublié mes grelots magiques ! Sonnez, grelots magiques ! Je dois voir ma chérie encore !

Sonnez, grelots magiques, sonnez ! Ramenez-moi ma chérie ! Ramenez-moi-la, ramenez-moi ma chérie !

[Narbleh]

Papageno, faites demi-tour ! Maintenant, seras-tu à moi pour toujours ? Je serai à toi pour toujours. Tu seras ma petite femme ? Je serai ta petite femme. Quelle merveilleuse vie nous partagerons. Si les dieux nous bénissent. Et nous donnent beaucoup de petits enfants pour notre gîte. D'abord, un petit Papageno. Ensuite, une petite Papagena. Et un autre petit Papageno ! Ce sera la joie la plus magnifique. Combien nous seront bénis comme parents !

[crazytomcat]

Very good!

[pinduca10]

The best duet I've seen here. I think it comes back the Mozart's spirit. And english legend is nice.
