《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 7-adult. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's glorious final opera is introduced in this skillful capsulization of a production of the Leipzig Gawanthaus Orchestra. Briefly summarizing the work in English, the video presents musical highlights and significant moments from the work in a smooth abridgment. Peopled with evil queens, lordly rulers, and boyish genies, the monumental opera enchants with its splendid music, memorable arias, and thematic tensions. Sterling performances, beautiful costumes, and mystical staging characterize this helpful and respectful introduction for young viewers and novice operagoers. --Irene Wood
