Talk:Works inspired by The Magic Flute

Items with notability issues
There are various works in which the author has no WP article. Due to the policy WP:NOTABILITY, I'm moving these for now to this talk page.


 * 1992 or earlier: Rens Groot's animated film set to a complete recording in the original German


 * The Brazilian group adapted the play for the puppet theatre in 1991 (A Flauta Mágica).
 * Susan Hammonnd and publisher The Children's Group (now part of Linus Entertainment) published an arrangement called Classical Kids: Mozart's Magic Fantasy. The story adds a new protagonist - the daughter of the actress playing the Queen of the Night - who brings the flute with her onto the stage and gets stuck in the story. The album received the 1991 Juno Award for Children's Album of the Year.


 * Arctic Magic Flute is an English-language adaptation of the opera, set in rural Alaska at an unspecified post-apocalyptic future date. Tamino survives a plane crash, rather than fighting a dragon. The Queen of the Night becomes 'the Electric Queen,' a personification of the modern urban world and its reliance on technology. Sarastro becomes an Alaska Native elder. The Masonic allegory of the original opera is replaced by the traditional values of Inupiaq culture. Arctic Magic Flute is performed without the overture, and in its place, is opened by an Inupiaq dancer and drummer singing a song of welcome, and a short spoken scene introducing the cast of villagers and describing their world. The rest of the opera is framed as a story being told to a young boy by his family. The production premiered on February 8, 2007, in Juneau, Alaska.

 * The Magic Fantasy and Susan Hammond are referenced several other places on Wikipedia. For example, Juno Award for Children's Album of the Year for this very production. What is the standards when deciding whether to include here or take out there? Yakatz (talk) 21:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. Who knows what is the right standard for inclusion of items in an article like this? For want of something better, I was using the rough-and-ready criterion, "is there a WP article on this?". But since you have researched this case and found some supporting documentation I would certainly not complain if you put it back in. Regards, Opus33 (talk) 22:20, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
