Experience Mozart! Who wouldn't want to become the Queen of the Night and meet Papagena and Papageno? This practical guide makes it easy for teachers to convey the magic of Mozart's "The Magic Flute." At its core is a puppet show, allowing students aged 8-12 to create miniature versions of the characters from the opera and reenact the story. Through character sheets, the children familiarize themselves independently with the main characters. A child-friendly introduction to the music of the opera provides the class with a smooth entry into the topic. All worksheets and templates for the puppets are available as photocopiable resources. With the fully developed lesson plans, rehearsals can begin immediately.
