Layers of interpretation in the opera “Magic Flute”

Summary/Abstract: In the centuries after its opening, the opera “Magic Flute” had faced various interpretations, from a political pamphlet to the allegoric encoding of an esoteric knowledge. Starting from the premises that all these interpretations are legitimate, this opera being an open work, but also, that Magic Flute is essentially a fairy tale, this paper explains its polysemic virtues using the actantial model of Algirdas Julien Greimas. We will point out that these allegorical interpretations are the exterior layers of the opera, borrowing in a truncated way its actantial structure, structure which is more dynamic and complex suggesting much deeper meanings.
