I just love James Levine's conducting and those marvelous Met musicians for a "big band" version of this overture! "It was his bequest to mankind, his appeal to the ideals of humanity. His last work is not Tito or the Requiem; it is Die Zauberflöte. Into the Overture, which is anything but a Singspiel overture, he compressed the struggle and victory of mankind, using the symbolic means of polyphony; working out, laborious working out in the development section; struggle and triumph" ---Alfred Einstein. "Mozart His Character, His Work". 1961

it has nothin to do with pharaohs but it has alot of freemasonry in it and the freemasons believed egyptians were the first free masons which is why you see so many egyptian things

Reply to adhamfeteha Absolutely nothing -- there are no Pharaohs in 'The Magic Flute'.
