- 12 Jan 2012 8:00 AM
- entertainment
"There are always several layers to any masterpiece and this certainly applies to The Magic Flute, one of the most popular and frequently performed operas ever written. Littered with a plethora of masonic symbols, its plot can be interpreted as an allegorical and vibrant fantasy story – so it is no coincidence that it has been performed for children for decades.
