Freemasons

Freemasons

In spring 2003 the composer Franck A. Holzkamp explained his idea about the opera „Das Labyrinth – Der Zauberflöte zweyter Theil“ to the freemasons in Bad Alexandersbad. This old-fashioned spelling should remember that this is a continuation of Mozart´s Magic Flute. Franck Holzkamp convinved the audience that it is time to pick up this topic again 200 years after Mozart and immense evolution processes and go forward. Spontaneously the librettist Gerd Scherm and the dramaturg Thomas H. Kaspar joined the project.

Scherm and Holzkamp are freemasons and have very consciously included their knowledge in the libretto.

Schikaneder and Mozart are said to have been freemasons, maybe also Goethe?

success!

success!

Magic Flute is a world success, it counts as the most played opera.

the “side operas” thus have less success:

Z0 24 years 1790-1814 non-stop success over 24 years. Since re-discovery 1998 ca 13 performances.
Z2 only in ca. 13 theatres just one time or a few times, see wikipedia, with BIG international success 2012 @ Salzburg Festival
Z3 world premiere 1891 concertante in Hengelo/NL and one scene 1939 for the 80th birthday of Goepfart
Z4 1797-1801 64 performances in Vienna, then Ständetheater Prag 1815 two performances.
