The action takes place either in temples — Egypto-Masonic-or in the groves’ that surround them. This is an outline of the plot: Sarastro, the High Priest of the Temple of Isis, has removed Pamina from the evil guidance of her mother the Queen of the Night, and keeps her guarded in his temple, where she is trained in the ways of virtue. The Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to attempt her abduction, promising him Pamina in marriage as his’ reward. This he attempts to do, accompanied by Papageno, the birdcatcher (who supplies the comic relief). Tamino, however, on meeting Sarastro, comes at once under his influence, and chooses to remain in the temple of. Isis, where he and Pamina successfully pass through the ordeals essential for initiation into the Mysteries, and at last are united.
