Costume design for Papegena, 1913. Papegena, the little wife that Papegeno, the bird catcher, has longed for. 'The Magic Flute' ('Die Zauberflote'), opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) with libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder (1751-1812) was first produced in Vienna in 1791. The plot has overtones of Freemasonry. Some say Queen of the Night is based on the Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780). Design for a 1913 production at the Paris Opera.
