The Magic Flute is noted for its prominent Masonic elements; both Schikaneder and Mozart were Masons and lodge brothers. The opera is also influenced by Enlightenment philosophy, and can be regarded as an allegory espousing enlightened absolutism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Flute Count Alessandro di Cagliostro was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Goethe’s Faust.
