Majority of the props that are used in this opera are made out of fabrics. The fabrics give the props a light and airy feeling. The puppetry of the fabric wolves when Prince Tamino plays his flute gives the whole atmosphere a mystical aura. The light and fleeting movements of the fabric wolves draw the audience into a world of fantasy. The bird that carries the three spirits is also made out of light materials.  The slow movement of the bird and the light flapping of its wings seduce the audience into the spiritual world.  The bird also has a haunting quality to it which complements the soft voices of the three spirits. Other props include colorful birds, the three ladies’ masks, and Papageno’s dinner. These props are mostly controlled by puppetry which make the audiences feel like they are in a dream-like state because the props are floating all over the place. Everything is so light and airy that the opera feels surreal. There is no constraint and stability and these qualities add to the mystical aura of the whole opera.
