91 1 A Research on the Characterization of Papageno in Mozart s Magic Flute chi 8961610 48 Chang Pao-lang Tsai Shun-mei Mozart Opra Magic Flute 1
English Abstract Magic Flute is Mozart s last work of opera, and also the peak of Singspiel. This opera integrates the composing styles of German, French, and Italian operas and demonstrates the roundedness and refinement characteristic of Mozart s later works. The original libretto of Magic Flute, written by Schikaneder, has a lot to share with the ideology of Freemasonry. Therefore, besides the entertaining effects common in Singspiel, this opera is ethically instructive. Papageno is the comic character in Magic Flute and the soul of it, too. He functions to carry on the plot and takes on the task of amusing the audience. His performance, including the musical essence, the singing skills, and the action, holds the key to the success of the opera. This research is divided into seven sections: 1. Mozart s life and his creation of operas 2. The creation process of Magic Flute 3. Introduction to the roles in Magic Flute 4. The characteristics of the role of Papageno 5. Discussion about the singing of Papageno 6. Some suggestions about the action of Papageno 7. Conclusion 2

And this would surely happen for I was already full of desire to write when I heard the German singspiel.

Kappellmeister Roser, who was sitting at his beside, went to the piano and sang the song, to Mozart s evident delight. Quoted by Gary S.

Well, just for fun at the point where Schikaneder[Papageno] has a pause[in his singing], I played an arpeggio. He was startled, looked behind the wings and saw me. When he had his next pause, I played no arpeggio. This time he stopped and refused to go on. I guessed what he was thinking and again played a chord. He then struck the glockenspiel and said Shut up.
