Set design for Mozart's "Magic Flute", 1791 (1863). ('Die Zauberflote'), opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) with libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder (1751-1812) was first produced in Vienna in 1791. The plot has overtones of Freemasonry. Some say Queen of the Night is based on the Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780). Design for an 1863 production at the Pairs Opera. Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
