Notes
The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte, K 620) is an opera in two acts by Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form during the time it was written that included both singing and spoken dialogue. This aria is from scene 4: A hall in the Temple of Ordeal. Tamino begins to play the flute, which summons Pamina. She tries to speak with him, but Tamino, bound by his vow of silence, cannot answer her, and Pamina begins to believe that he no longer loves her: (“Ach, ich fühl’s, es ist verschwunden” / Oh, I feel it, it is gone). She leaves in despair.
