Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841), a Prussian architect, painter, and set designer, is renowned for his contribution to stage design, particularly in the realm of opera. One of his most famous works is the set design for Act II, scene xxviii of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" (Die Zauberflöte), K. 620. This opera, first premiered in 1791, is a Singspiel, a popular form that includes both singing and spoken dialogue.

Schinkel's set design for "The Magic Flute" was created for a performance in 1815 at the Königliches Opernhaus (Royal Opera House) in Berlin. His vision for Act II, scene xxviii, reflects the Egyptian Revival style, which was popular in the early 19th century, partly due to Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and the subsequent scholarly and public fascination with ancient Egyptian culture.

The set design is characterized by its grandeur and attention to detail, incorporating elements of ancient Egyptian architecture and symbolism. Schinkel's work captures the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the opera, while also providing a sense of scale and majesty that complements the dramatic narrative. The backdrop features monumental architecture, with towering pylons, obelisks, and statues of Egyptian deities, creating a setting that is both awe-inspiring and in harmony with the opera's themes of enlightenment and the struggle between good and evil.

Schinkel's Egyptian set design for "The Magic Flute" is not only a testament to his skill as an artist but also reflects the broader cultural interests of the period. It remains an iconic example of early 19th-century stage design and continues to influence the visual presentation of "The Magic Flute" in contemporary productions.
