00:00:28 THE MAGIC FLUTE
00:12:54 if we were only left alone now
00:17:05 Prince Tamino, be still.
00:23:11 And you alone have the strength and power
00:28:28 We would have love and brotherhood
00:32:13 always to do as we advise
00:35:55 What time is it? Sarastro will be home any minute now. Come.
00:41:23 I strongly feel it would be wise
00:45:04 - Sarastro you abhor? - I loathe his very name
00:49:40 For your tones so soft and tender
00:54:04 If only forever the music would play
00:58:40 Oh, my poor mother
01:05:20 Tamino is waiting by the north gate.
01:11:22 Yes.
01:14:18 Oh, what a difficult position
01:18:35 Forever you shall be
01:25:26 But you must not speak to her.
01:29:47 Eighteen years and two minutes.
01:37:56 Yet look, despair torments Pamina
01:40:40 but a sample illustration of this ardor we may show
01:45:04 You fool
01:51:18 Soon...
01:58:22 shall see black death abide
02:05:19 Sarastro shall regret my lashes
