About this work

This print shows three scenes from *The Magic Flute* at Glyndebourne. It’s a black-and-white page from *The Illustrated London News* dated June 1, 1935. The magazine printed it as a single sheet before folding, so each image lines up side by side. It’s a quick snapshot of a famous opera’s staging. You can see what costumes and poses looked like back then. Glyndebourne was already staging big operas in the 1930s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints from old magazines.
