“I am a prince”, maintains Tamino when he first meets Papageno. The birdcatcher laughs him in the face for this, because Tamino looks more like a bricklayer. Together they are to rescue Pamina from Sarastro’s palace. When the unequal friends bit by bit really do turn into a noble prince and a birdcatcher, the public sees it happening at first hand.

“And it can be felt all the way back to the last row how much they all are caught up in the story and follow all agog the staging of Mozart’s presumably most famous opera”.
Thomas Richter, WAZ
