The Magic Flute

TMTA's challenge for this week is based on the theme of music - how cool is that!! So I have used a postage stamp I've saved from a letter I received about 5 years ago, waiting for an appropriate moment; and this is it.

Mozart's Magic Flute opera is one of the first operas I went to see - one of my favourites. Papageno really amuses me.

Excellent combination of the character, the cage and the signature (amongst other things) to sell the idea of The Magic Flute - it wouldn't surprise me if you get The National ringing you up to use your 'collage' as a poster!
