Synopsis

I have made a number of changes to the Synopsis to bring it into line with the score. There is no suggestion there that the Three Boys are "child-spirits" - or that animals dance in the finale! (Perhaps that was done somewhere at a children's matinee.)

The 2013 DuQuette talk on Masonic influence seems authoritative and might be cited further. -- Hugh7 (talk) 09:11, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

recording of "Der Hoelle Rache"

The recording used here is not so great. There are a lot of pitch problems with the singer's performance. Here is the same singer in a performance in which she does a substantially better job:

Good idea, only: that is an external link. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:01, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
Not a good idea. Sandra Partridge's pronunciation of the 1st line alone is sub-standard in both recordings. The sound file in the article ought to be replaced with Rita Streich's File:W. A. Mozart - Die Zauberflöte - 18. Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen (Ferenc Fricsay, 1953).ogg from the 1953/55 Fricsay recording. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
