"Stage Set for Mozart's Magic Flute, 1815" is a renowned stage design by the German architect, painter, and designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Created for a production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" (Die Zauberflöte), Schinkel's work is celebrated for its striking visual representation of the opera's themes and its embodiment of the Romantic aesthetic of the early 19th century. The design is particularly famous for its depiction of the hall of the Queen of the Night, a central location in the opera's narrative.

Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) was a leading figure in Prussian architecture and stage design, and his contributions to the arts were instrumental in shaping the neoclassical and Romantic movements in Germany. His work on the set for "The Magic Flute" is considered one of his most important contributions to theater design and reflects his ability to blend architectural principles with the dramatic demands of stagecraft.

The set design is characterized by its grandiose architectural elements, use of perspective, and the incorporation of mystical and symbolic imagery that aligns with the Masonic and Enlightenment themes present in Mozart's opera. Schinkel's design captures the fantastical elements of the story while grounding the production in a visual style that would have been both innovative and resonant for contemporary audiences.

The 1815 production of "The Magic Flute" with Schinkel's set was performed at the Königliches Schauspielhaus (Royal Playhouse) in Berlin, and it left a lasting impression on the history of stage design. Schinkel's work is often cited as a prime example of how set design can transcend mere background to become an integral part of the storytelling in opera, influencing subsequent generations of designers and artists.

Today, Schinkel's stage design for "The Magic Flute" is preserved in various forms, including sketches, engravings, and reproductions, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to study and appreciate this seminal work in the history of theatrical design. The design continues to inspire contemporary productions of the opera and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Mozart's music and Schinkel's visionary approach to stagecraft.
