Layers of Interpretation in the Opera “Magic Flute” In the centuries after its opening, the opera “Magic Flute” had faced various interpretations, from a political pamphlet to the allegoric encoding of esoteric knowledge. Starting from the pre¬mises 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 interpre¬tations are the exterior layers of the opera, borrowing in a truncated way its actantial structure, struc¬ture which is more dynamic and complex suggesting much deeper meanings.
