The Magic Flute Opera Bracelet tells the story through symbolic beads and charms. A meaningful opera lover gift.

Whimsical fairy tale or deep Masonic mystery?

Whole books have been written on this subject and the jury is still out on what it all means… But suffice to say this tale of darkness and light, good and evil, and the trials to enlightenment or reward is one of the world’s beloved operas: Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Mysterious ladies slay a serpent; a prince falls in love with a portrait; a queen holds sway over the night, wise priests guide all and a simple bird catcher finds himself called to a higher purpose. In the end despite the twists and turns, the story is simple-the magic of love conquers all.
