A Brief Thought: The Magic Flute

A (literal) few words on why this popular Mozart opera is not worth the hype.

The Magic Flute sucks. Why? It reeks of misogyny.

Its iconic music can’t make up for its problematic plotline.

Exhibit A: The Queen of the Night (a strong independent woman who tolerates zero BS from men) is portrayed as an arrogant b*tch.

I’m forever giving this opera the side eye.

    No matter how great or iconic a classic piece may be, it remains a reflection of the period / culture in which it was created. We all know what men thought of women in those days. ;-)

  • Some men cannot tolerate any woman who stands on her own. Excellent review

  • Why does that make her an arrogant bitch? Smh! Loved your review!
