The Staging in Magic Flute was not only captivating but an important role in the running of the opera. The Staging was centered around a large cube structure that provided different settings. The cube would slowly turn to provide a new stage for the performers to work off of while its transparency allowed the lights to change its appearance. The movement added to the fluidity of the scenery while the changing of lighting made the set customizable and appearance always different. Alongside the large cube structure was a moveable staircase that Papageno  used several times throughout the play. The staircase added another sense of fluidity while also adding another set to work with and allowing movement for Papageno. the sets higher structure added tone as well as additional scenery. The Queen of the Night was always on a higher playform emphasizing her power and the platform was later used for Papageno to climb and in the final test. The set wasn’t only functional but aesthetically pleasing with its basis in geometric shapes. The shapes added structure without emphasizing one place too much allowing the terrain and meaning of the set to change. They also emphasized one of the main themes of the opera order and unity. The use of triangles represents structure, like Sarastro’s kingdom and costume, while the circle revealed unity. Lastly the geometric over curtain added a gorgeous cover to look at while the show was not on and added to the overall aesthetic of the show.
