Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his epic opera, "The Magic Flute" in 1791, while a member of the Viennese Masonic Lodge "Zur Wohltätigkeit" ("Beneficence"). Brother Mozart authored the work with its several Masonic allegories to ensure the enlightenment of the Craft would survive the Austrian emperor's tyrannic reign which,among other things, banned Masonic initiations.
