A Brief Thought: The Magic Flute

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

By Jaye Ruggiero-CashPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

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.
