Happy First Advent, everybody. Antoni here with some ecstatic news. From two days ago until yesterday, my review of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the Deutsche Oper Berlin starring Diana Schnürpel as the Queen of the Night grew in recognition on LinkedIn. Thanks to my review of her performance as the Queen of the Night, Ms. Schnürpel herself thanked me so graciously, and I was delighted and grateful to have heard from her. Moreover, people who have also been acquainted with Ms. Schnürpel’s work as a musician and a singer have also reacted positively to my review of her performance. All of what I assessed from Ms. Schnürpel’s Queen of the Night in my review was truthful with no pretense whatsoever. Therefore, the feedback I received from my assessment of Ms. Schnürpel’s vocal and theatrical performance as the Queen of the Night was laudable and encouraging. I am grateful that my work as an online reviewer has been acknowledged, as it compels me to continue to produce more content for my channel. Here is my review of Diana Schnürpel’s performance as the Queen of the Night if you want to watch and listen to it. Have a lovely First Advent, everybody.

The festive season continues and this time we are traveling back to the 1920’s with a surreal, vivid, magnificent, and amusing production of Mozart’s final opera The Magic Flute, which is, in turn, a grand homage to silent films, way before the talkies came to fruition.
