Presented by The Winter Harbor Music Festival On the Stanley Subaru stage 2:00pm Freemasonry, the illuminati, and a dark plot to murder one of music’s geniuses; this was a popular conspiracy theory regarding Mozart’s opera Die Zauberflöte. It has long been discredited but is still passed down despite one glaring error; Mozart’s librettist, Emanuel Schikaneder would have been more responsible for the content than he. But what specifically makes the Magic Flute a masonic opera? The answer lies in several aspects of the opera. The most obvious is the hero’s quest, the second act trials and initiation of Tamino. The prince goes from ignorance and night, symbolized by the Queen, to light and knowledge embodied by Sarastro and articulated in his final line. After driving away the Queen and her ignorance he triumphantly states, “Die Strahlen der Sonne vertreiben die Nacht” (the suns rays drive away the night). Initiates into the masonic order faced trials, albeit none quite so mystical, in order to join the group of enlightened men. Women were, and still are to this day, not officially welcomed as initiates. Various other masonic tenets are featured in the work including Egyptian mysticism and the number three. In addition to Mozart the fascination with the ancient past can be see on the dollar bill, for a great number of our founding fathers were freemasons. Mozart and Schikaneder chose the Egyptian setting to further highlight Egyptian symbolism. The number three is also quite important in the opera, from the three chords at the opening to the persistent key of E- flat (notated with three flats). The Masonic order focused around three initiate levels, three morals and many other utterances of that number; most likely deriving from the Christian holy trinity though at this point completely secular. The most important Masonic tenets in the opera are tolerance and enlightenment. The Freemasons valued knowledge and acceptance, something which often made them targets of authority. When the Magic Flute was premiered, the masons and entered a renewed state of persecution under Emperor Joseph II. This makes the presentation of a masonic message of tolerance all the bolder. This message has relevance today and is summed comically driven home by Papageno’s aria in which his mouth is locked for telling lies. The cast states, “Bekämen doch die Lügner alle ein solches Schloß vor ihren Mund, stat Haß, Verleumdung, schwarzer Galle, bestände Lieb und Bruderbund” (If all liars had such a lock on their mouth, then hate and slander would become love and brotherhood). $20 Adults/Seniors, $18 Grand Members, $15 Students (15&under) Reserved Seating

On the Coastal Eye Care Screen Presented by Schoodic Institute 6:00pm Oceans are a sonic symphony. Sound is essential to the survival and prosperity of marine life. Man-made ocean noise is threatening this fragile world. Sonic Sea is about protecting life in our waters from the destructive effects of oceanic noise pollution. The mission of Schoodic Institute is to advance ecosystem science and learning for all ages through a unique partnership with Acadia National Park Schoodic Institute exists in a close public-private partnership with Acadia National Park. Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park was created after the former Navy Base on Schoodic Point, completely within the Schoodic District of Acadia National Park, was returned to the National Park Service. Schoodic Institute was originally conceived in 2004 as Acadia Partners for Science and Learning and later known as “SERC Institute” before changing its name to Schoodic Institute in 2013. The original concept for Schoodic Institute was to serve as a nonprofit partner to Acadia National Park and cooperate in development and management of the Schoodic Education and Research Center, one of 19 National Park Service Research Learning Centers in the United States. Multi-million dollar investments of federal and philanthropic funding have been made to create the Schoodic Education and Research Center campus, managed by Schoodic Institute. The campus now offers housing and meals for individual researchers, groups and conferences, classrooms, laboratories, and a modern 124-seat auditorium in one of the most inspirational natural settings in the country. Schoodic Institute and Acadia National Park are national leaders in the development of new techniques to involve the public in science and conservation. Schoodic Institute deliberately and tightly intertwines education with research. Our nonprofit structure allows us to nimbly support Acadia in creating innovative partnerships. We support scientific research of importance to the Park, provide professional development for teachers, and educate students to become a new generation of stewards who will help conserve our natural and cultural treasures.
