**Plot:**

Tamino falls hopelessly in love with the image of the princess Pamina. Her mother, the Queen of the Night, asks him to rescue her from the captivity of the sorcerer Sarastro. Papageno is to accompany him on this journey. As assistance, Tamino receives a magic flute from her, and Papageno gets a silver glockenspiel. Unfortunately, the two soon get lost in the forest.

Papageno soon encounters Monostatos, Pamina's guard. He becomes so amusing due to the sound of the magic bells that Papageno is able to free the princess. At the same time, Tamino tries out his flute. Calmed by its tones, the wild animals show him the way to Sarastro's castle.

There, everyone learns why Sarastro had Pamina kidnapped. She is to become Tamino's wife and his successor once he has passed the difficult trials. Tamino skillfully overcomes the great dangers and walks through fire and water.

However, Papageno, glad that he does not have to endure such trials himself, has one great wish: a female companion, one like him, a Papagena! He plays his glockenspiel, and an old woman appears. She threatens Papageno with imprisonment if he does not marry her. He then vows eternal fidelity, as he has nothing to lose. The old woman then transforms into a beautiful young woman, in whom Papageno recognizes his long-awaited Papagena.

“Strength has triumphed and crowns beauty and wisdom with eternal glory.”
