At 1:15, she says "We". She was about to resort to the earlier part of "We live by love", she had a great save though. I'm going to sing this in my voice class today, I hope I do half as well. =]
Indeed, it was a professional production. I was brought in to sing Papageno after another baritone dropped out. Prior to this, I had only sung the opera in German. I'm not a big fan of opera in translation, especially with the advent of supertitles. The show was a big hit with those under 12 years of age.
On the whole, I agree with you. I've sung this role in German a number of times. English translations are only good for English speaking children who can't read the supertitles.
I don´t think you should translate any opera if the one who invented the original lyrics is already dead. In this case Emanuel Schikaneder died in 1812.
Magic Flute in English is not criminal when you have a good translation this one sucked! The voices were different, not sure if I would have cast these voices. Was this a professional production?
