- Summary:
- "Der Stein der Weisen oder Die Zauberinsel (Vienna, 1790) is the heroic-comic opera that provided the model for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the libretto based on the same collection of fairy tales. The music is attributed to five composers, all of whom were involved in Die Zauberflöte: Johann Baptist Henneberg, Benedikt Schack, Franz Xaver Gerl, Mozart, and Schikaneder. The opera includes Mozart's well-known "cat" duet, "Nun liebes Weibchen" (K. 625/592a). This modern edition is based on a recently rediscovered Viennese manuscript now in Hamburg, with variants from the other surviving Viennese sources. The introduction discusses the historical and theatrical context, composers, revivals, reception, and relationship to Die Zauberflöte. The edition also provides the libretto with an English translation, facsimiles of selected pages from the primary sources, and a critical apparatus with discussion of the sources and critical notes." -- Provided by publisher.
